FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CLEVEMED RECEIVES INC. 5000 AWARD FOR RECOGNITION AS ONE OF AMERICA´S FASTEST GROWING PRIVATE COMPANIES


CLEVELAND, OHIO (Nov. 20, 2007)NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, August 23, 2007 - Inc. today ranked CleveMed number 4525 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

"The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy - the entrepreneurial part," said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media."

CleveMed manufactures wireless physiological monitoring devices for the medical, research and academic communities. CleveMed's wireless devices are used in a wide variety of applications, including sleep disorders diagnosis and treatment, movement disorders quantification and treatment, brain monitoring, biomedical engineering and health sciences education, and physiological monitoring research. The company has been experiencing rapid growth due to the increasing popularity of hand-held wireless devices for research and medicine. These devices help patients leave the hospital earlier, cutting medical costs and improving quality of life.

The 2007, Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 140 percent. Complete information on this year´s Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
