/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Med Technologies(R), Inc. ("Global

international e-Health, medical information technology company,

France. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. (Logo:

EdgeLab was introduced into the hospital market in 1999 as "Labo
Serveur", it has become a leading laboratory information management
system in Europe with more than 150 licensed laboratories. EdgeLab
is connected with more than 1,000 analyzers and interchanges data
with all major hospital healthcare software applications. It has a
vibrant, easy-to-use Windows graphical interface in addition to a
comprehensive range of laboratory functionality. EdgeLab can be
easily configured to meet the business needs of large, diverse,
multi-site hospital laboratories, as well as small, single-site
hospitals. Mr. Magnin, Head of Laboratory Service of Eugene Andre
Hospital, explained, "In April, 2008 after the announcement that
Agfa was discontinuing the maintenance of our HPX software, we
decided to replace our product and contacted three companies whose
computer solutions seemed to be suitable for our laboratory. The IT
Department of our hospital took part in the decision. This allowed
us to have two viewpoints on a new laboratory product: a functional
viewpoint for the biologists and an equipment and architectural
viewpoint for the IT technicians. For both parties involved in the
decision, it was determined that EdgeLab answered our needs the
best. The user feedback was positive both in terms of functionality
and post sales support. We were provided with great support
throughout the process and for us this was a sign of future
success. The flexibility of the EdgeBlood configuration appealed to
us. We added additional functionality to what our legacy software
offered, including a document manager, a results server in the
ward, and connection to the Biomnis Laboratory. The implementation
was completed in less than 3 months, and this included the absence
of the head biologist for 15 days during the project." At Eugene
Andre Hospital, EdgeLab is directly connected to six laboratory
analyzers, the hospital management system and several other
external systems, including Inlog's EdgeBlood blood center
information management system at the French Blood Establishment
(EFS). EFS uses EdgeBlood to recruit, collect, process and label
100 percent of the blood drawn in France. Will Willman, Global
Med's Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing EU/ME/Asia,
commented, "We are excited to have been chosen to assist Clinique
Mutualiste's Eugene Andre Hospital with their laboratory
information management system needs. EdgeLab has become a leading
laboratory information system in Europe because it has kept current
with the needs of the marketplace by providing hospital
laboratories with the advanced features and functions they require.
We are looking forward to supporting Eugene Andre with quality
products and services as they continue to provide excellent,
advanced healthcare to patients in the greater Lyon area." About
the "Clinique Mutualiste Eugene Andre Hospital" Founded in 1935,
Clinique Mutualiste Eugene Andre Hospital was initially formed to
serve subscribers to not-for-profit healthcare insurance plans. In
1976, it opened its doors to the general public and, like most
