Flo Healthcare’s Mobile Medication Workstation Wins Gold ADEX Award

(ATLANTA – May 17, 2007) The Flo 2700, offered by Flo Healthcare, a leading designer of state-of-the-art wireless mobile workstations, wireless infrastructure and related services for the healthcare industry, has been awarded the Gold ADEX in the 2006-07 Awards for Design Excellence competition. The Flo 2700 medication workstation was chosen from a record 1,858 product entries. ADEX is the largest and most prestigious awards competition for product design of furnishings marketed through the design trade. Awards are judged on form and functions.

"The judges were extremely impressed with the Flo 2700 workstation," said John Moses, Executive Director of ADEX.

The Flo 2700 is designed for accurate and efficient dispensing of medication at the point of care. Its sleek, lightweight design allows it to fit neatly in tight spaces. The Flo 2700 is small enough to take right to the patient bedside, yet spacious enough to accommodate a highly configurable storage system. Flo 2700’s system of drawers and bins with customizable locking options offers a versatile solution that brings medication administration full circle: from initial fill to the bedside.

"We’re thrilled to have been recognized by ADEX for our Flo 2700 workstation. From the pharmacy to the bedside and back again, the Flo 2700 sets the standard in premium integration, options and ease-of-use, offering the smartest combination of reliability, value, mobility and wireless capability," said Keith Washington, Flo Healthcare’s vice president and general manager.

IT departments like the Flo 2700 because it features an open architecture with easy access to technology equipment and multiple peripheral interfaces. And, the Flo 2700 arrives fully assembled.

Pharmacists like the Flo 2700 because it is part of the Starsys medication storage and transport system from Emerson Storage Solutions InterMetro division.
