Clinical DataFax Systems Inc. Announces iDataFax
iDataFax (electronic data capture) works seamlessly with DataFax (fax data capture) allowing both methods to be used in the same study.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 18, 2006 -- Clinical DataFax Systems Inc. (CDSI) announced today their entry into the electronic data capture (EDC) software market with the iDataFax client software package.

"We have been delivering high quality fax-based solutions to our clients worldwide for over 14 years," says Wayne Taylor, CEO of CDSI. "Our latest product is a continuation of our endeavor to provide a comprehensive and efficient set of tools for clinical trial data management. Our clients can now use fax, EDC, or both in the same study, decide which is best suited to a given clinic or individual, and switch from one method to the other at any time."

iDataFax is a software application that allows the user to enter, review and modify patient data; add reasons to explain data values; and reply to queries from the study coordinating center, using a secure connection over the internet.

iDataFax works in concert with CDSI's flagship product, DataFax. Says Taylor: "Not everyone has access to reliable, high-speed data communications. This new product will allow a clinical trial sponsor to select the best method of data collection on an individual basis. In many situations, fax-based data collection is still an important methodology, with clear advantages over EDC. Giving our clients the ability to mix and match technologies removes a huge barrier to the adoption of EDC in large international trials, and provides a fax fallback alternative if EDC proves unworkable in a given situation."
