HyperBranch selects Amadeus solution

Quebec City, December 6, 2005 - Amadeus inc. “Amadeus” (TSX-V: AML), a pioneer and leader of advanced compliance process control solutions, today announced that HyperBranch Medical Technology, Inc., a development-stage medical device company in the ocular surgery market, has selected the Amadeus’ eQCM^® compliance process control suite as the foundation for enterprise-wide compliance. 

Achieving regulatory compliance is a critical success factor for a development-stage medical device company such as HyperBranch Medical Technology, Inc.  It is a truly daunting task in today’s complex business environment to implement a quality management system; affect product development under design control policies and procedures; produce and manage all documents associated with regulatory submissions; design, develop, and operate all manufacturing processes in compliance with current good manufacturing practices as found in 21 CFR part 820 and ISO-13485; and simultaneously meet demanding Investor requirements to keep budgets and development times on track. 

In pursuit of a comprehensive solution to meet their objectives, HyperBranch Medical took nearly a year to research and analyze alternative enterprise management system suppliers before purchasing eQCM^®.  “…Our requirements were simple; we wanted the best system at an affordable price.  Given the importance of managing documents and document workflow to the overall success of our business, we were pleased to discover the Amadeus eQCM^® Compliance Process Control System…”, said Anthony J. Sherbondy President and Chief Executive Officer of HyperBranch Medical Technology, Inc.

 “…The Amadeus’ clear focus on the process and their crisp, clean user interface, enabled them to surface to the top of our list early on.  We found that other enterprise management systems were much more focused on documents than workflow process and had cumbersome user interfaces or required special programming to customize systems to match our unique business needs.  We fully anticipate with the full deployment of the Amadeus eQCM^® Compliance Process Control System that HyperBranch will keep its headcount and costs down while providing quality regulatory submissions on time and under budget.  We believe eQCM^® deserves serious consideration from every development-stage medical device company seeking a competitive advantage in bringing products to market quickly while maintaining regulatory compliance in today’s complex environment…”, continued Mr. Sherbondy.

As Amadeus focuses on targeting strategic markets such as the medical device sector, Valarie King-Bailey, VP Sales and Marketing for Amadeus commented “We believe that medical device companies are evolving from their early deployments of ad hoc compliance applications to a more comprehensive approach that helps reduce regulatory risk and achieve sustained compliance.  We are pleased that HyperBranch has embraced this philosophy and is well on their way to moving a step above compliance to higher levels of compliance and governance…”
