FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Code Bar Code Readers selected by Intermountain Healthcare

Draper, UT - April 4, 2007 - Code Corporation announced today that Intermountain Healthcare has selected its Code Reader line of bar code readers for Intermountain's new electronic bedside medication administration and reporting system. Code products, both in wireless and cabled configurations, will be implemented throughout Intermountain's system of 21 hospitals in Utah and Idaho.

"We were happy to find a leading bar code manufacturer in our own backyard," said Christina Carter, Director of Clinical Systems for Intermountain Healthcare. "As we worked on our unique requirements, Code delivered new features and performance improvements very rapidly during the test and evaluation phase."

As a national leader in healthcare IT innovation, Intermountain continues to look for technologically advanced solutions. In 2005, Intermountain committed to enlist the best technology in validating the "five rights" practiced by all nurses when administering medication at bedside: right medication, right patient, right dose, right time and right method of administration.

Using bar codes to speed retail sales is a proven technology, but using bar codes in a medical setting is far more complex due to the size and shape of the items carrying the codes. Code readers scan tiny bar codes on medications, patient wristbands and clinician identification badges. The bar code data is fed wirelessly into a software application that performs a check against the five rights, prescriptions, and patient records. After checking the program notifies the clinician of any problems before the medicine is dispensed.

"Code has implemented bar code technology into major hospitals from coast to coast, however, it has been extremely strategic to our product development efforts to have a hospital in such close proximity," said George Powell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Code Corporation. "We were able to collect first hand engineering data at Intermountain's hospitals and create improvements in a matter of hours. We quickly and significantly improved our products due to the close collaboration with Intermountain's staff."

The use of bar codes, especially new, two-dimensional codes to check medications is one of the fastest growing applications for Code's technology leading products. "We have been impressed with Intermountain's ability to rapidly deploy new systems into their facilities," said Powell. "Intermountain Healthcare recognizes the ways advanced bar code technology improves patient safety. They efficiently and effectively implemented a process to ensure patients received the best care possible in record time."
