Innovotech Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IOT), a pioneer in the field of biofilm product
development, is pleased to announce that its proprietary BEST(TM) (Biofilm
Eradication Surface Test) assay for external efficacy testing was a key element
in the recent FDA 510(k) market clearance of Teleflex Incorporated's
ArrowEVOLUTION(TM), an advanced anti-microbial peripherally-inserted central
catheter. Arrow EVOLUTION with Chlorag+ard(TM) technology provides a unique
option to clinicians in their efforts to protect against central line-associated
bloodstream infections, a major contributor to hospital acquired infections.


"Our recent project with Teleflex is yet another demonstration of Innovotech's
expertise in microbial biofilms and its distinguished track record in meeting
client's needs," said Ken Boutilier, President and CEO of Innovotech Inc.
"Biofilms cause major problems in human health, from hospital-acquired
infections (such as those caused by catheters) to food safety.


"FDA market clearance of the ArrowEVOLUTION(TM) catheter with Chlorag+ard(TM)
technology enhances Teleflex's position as a leading global provider of medical
technology products," said Barry McBride, Teleflex Chief Technology Officer.
"Innovotech's sense of urgency, understanding of the requirements and their
extensive commercial knowledge of biofilm microbiology were significant
contributing factors in the development and execution of external efficacy
testing for submission."


About Innovotech Inc.:

Innovotech Inc. is a pioneer in the field of biofilm product development,
focused on providing innovative and practical solutions to medical, agricultural
and industrial problems caused by microbial biofilms. Biofilms are responsible
for a host of diseases both in human health and agriculture due to their
inherent resistance to existing antibiotics and disinfectants. There are
currently no antibiotics, disinfectants, diagnostics or regulatory standards
designed specifically for biofilm-forming organisms.


Innovotech currently has two products in advanced stages of development: bioFILM
PA(TM), the first diagnostic kit to assist physicians in the selection of the
most effective combination antibiotic treatment of patients with biofilm-based
chronic lung infections and Agress(TM), a unique, environmentally friendly seed
treatment and plant spray designed to protect crops against both bacterial and
fungal infections.
