FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CLEVEMED AND NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS COLLABORATE ON NATIONAL BIOMEDICAL SEMINAR SERIES


CLEVELAND, OHIO, February 28, 2007 - Cleveland Medical Devices Inc. (CleveMed) is collaborating with National Instruments on a series of seminars titled “Virtual Instrumentation in Biomedical Engineering" (VIBE) that focus on a variety of topics related to the biomedical engineering field, with an emphasis on education and research applications. The first VIBE seminar took place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts on February 1st.

CleveLabs™ is a laboratory course system that integrates innovative bioinstrumentation hardware and transducers with hands-on learning through interactive software that educates students on instrumentation, electrophysiology and clinical applications. Lab sessions are designed for biomedical engineering, the health sciences and pre-engineering for all levels, from high school to graduate school.

For more than 20 years, engineers and scientists have been using National Instruments LabVIEW™ software for signal acquisition, measurement analysis and data presentation. LabVIEW is known for providing the flexibility of a programming language without the complexity of traditional development tools.

According to CleveLabs Product Manager Joseph Giuffrida, Ph.D., "CleveMed wrote the CleveLabs software using LabVIEW, which demonstrates the flexibility and capability of the programming language in a biomedical engineering application."

In addition, a LabVIEW driver for use with CleveLab's hardware, the BioRadio® 150, is included in the system so engineers and scientists can easily create personalized software applications around the BioRadio for real-time data acquisition or post processing applications. This ability to pair the system hardware with NI LabVIEW to create a user-friendly, all-purpose data acquisition system that can fit virtually any research or education application is what first interested NI in the VIBE collaboration effort.

"CleveLabs is a great example of how engineers and scientists can use LabVIEW as a framework for biomedical instruction and research," said Newton de Faria, business development manager for life and analytical sciences at NI. "CleveMed is offering an out-of-the-box experience with its vendor-defined hardware, application software and courseware, and at the same time providing user-defined flexibility with the LabVIEW device driver." CleveMed and NI are participating in future seminars together at several universities. The next event takes place at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
