BioDrain Announces Additional Trial Installations and Sales of BioDrain STREAMWAY® Systems Across the U.S.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BioDrain Medical, Inc., (OTCQB: BIOR) ("BioDrain"), producer of the FDA approved STREAMWAY® System for automated, direct-to-drain surgical fluid disposal that reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous waste, announced today that it has completed additional trial installations and sales over the last sixty days of its STREAMWAY® Systems into hospitals and surgical centers in various states including New York, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. These additional installations and sales included both new and repeat customers.

Prior trial installations of BioDrain's STREAMWAY® System have resulted in a 100% success rate in conversions from a trial installation to a subsequent sale of the system. In addition, BioDrain has upcoming meetings scheduled with potential distributors in Europe, Canada and Asia, in an effort to commence the global expansion of its STREAMWAY® System.

"The lack of availability of fluid management solutions has created a demand for an FDA approved product," commented Josh Kornberg, Chief Executive Officer of BioDrain Medical. "We believe our FDA approved product provides a technologically advanced fluid management solution that is superior to the current manual solution which relies on manual disposal systems and canisters. We are extremely pleased with these initial installations and look forward to expanding our presence globally in an effort to increase our market share worldwide."

About BioDrain Medical

BioDrain Medical, Inc. has a fully automated, patented, FDA cleared, surgical fluid disposal system that virtually eliminates operating room workers' exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the surgical environment. Today's manual surgical fluid handling methods of hand-carrying filled surgical fluid canisters and emptying these canisters is an exposure risk and an antiquated approach to the handling of surgical fluid waste. BioDrain's STREAMWAY® System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of surgical fluids and is designed to result in: 1) reducing overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improving Occupational State and Health Association (OSHA) and other regulatory compliance agencies' safety concerns, and 3) streamlining the efficiency of the operating room (and thereby making surgeries more profitable).

BioDrain's STREAMWAY® System is eco-friendly as it contributes to cleaning up the environment. Currently, approximately 50 million bloody, potentially disease infected canisters go to landfills annually in the United States. These tainted canisters can remain in landfills for years to come. With the installation of BioDrain's STREAMWAY® System, the number of canisters can be significantly reduced which assists in making the operating room and our environment safer, cleaner, and better. BioDrain products are currently being represented by independent professional sales representatives that cater to the needs of hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers across the country.
