PRESS RELEASE

October 6, 2003

HDC Medical, Inc. announced the 510(k) clearance for the MAKY Dialyzer Reprocessing System from HDC Maquinolas, LLC. The MAKY has an aggressive cleaning program in each of the nine operating programs available, with the capability of using any acceptable cleaning agent with any choice of acceptable germicides.

Hugh Doss, President of HDC Medical, said the two biggest questions he is asked is, “You mean I don’t have to use Peracidin?” and “What does Maquinolas mean”? The answers are; you don’t have to use Peracidin, and maquinolas is Argentine slang for “funny machine.”

MAKY can be used as a semi-automatic system or completely automated without the necessity of an ancillary computer. The bar code scanner, label printer, reports printer, keyboard and (optional) remote alarm connect directly into MAKY. There are also networking ports for MAKY to work in series and a PC port for downloading data from the Reports Menu if that option is preferred.

HDC Maquinolas, LLC is a joint venture of HDC Medical and Guillermo Cohen Freue. Inquiries should be made to HDC Medical at 800-523-4123.
