Arrowhead Electronic Healthcare Commended for Managing and Maintaining Quality Systems; Recent Audit by Bayer HealthCare Notes Company Exceeds Quality Requirements.

AUSTIN, Texas -- After an audit conducted in December 2005, Bayer HealthCare (Bayer) continues to recommend Arrowhead Electronic Healthcare (Arrowhead) as an approved supplier of its Electronic Patient Diary (EPD) called EZ-Log. The audit's results, which are outlined in a report issued January 19, include favorable remarks about Arrowhead's current internal operations and quality management. Specifically, Arrowhead is commended for demonstrating "technical competence and considerable pride in their work" and showing "proactive disposition and enthusiasm to develop documents that will support regulated systems."

The report stems from a comprehensive on-site visit conducted by six Bayer audit team members. The team studied Arrowhead's quality system including processes for software development, change control, document control, configuration management, approvals, and staff qualifications. In its report, Bayer highlighted Arrowhead's ability to meet and exceed quality requirements. The audit team also commended Arrowhead's staff for its timeliness in responding to Bayer requests, noting the cooperative effort was "much appreciated."

"Generally speaking, the audit results are very positive and illustrate all the effort the Arrowhead team has put into improving the software development process," said Dave Allison, Head of Organization & Information for Bayer HealthCare, Pharmaceuticals Division.

This was Bayer's fourth annual quality audit of Arrowhead's systems. Arrowhead produces an EPD that electronically captures a patient's pharmaceutical treatment activity using a barcode equipped hand-held computer. The data is then conveniently transmitted to a secure database and then accessed by medical professionals for use in improving communications, treatment adherence, and inventory management. Arrowhead's EPD is available throughout North America, New Zealand, Australia, and the European Union.
