Rockwell Medical Partners with HydroCare to Distribute and Install its Dry Acid Concentrate Mix System

Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: RMTI), a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, commercializes, and distributes a portfolio of hemodialysis products to dialysis providers worldwide, today announced that the Company has partnered with HydroCare, a leading provider of state-of-the-art dialysis water treatment systems to healthcare facilities globally, to purchase and install the Company's dry acid concentrate mix system in dialysis water rooms. Rockwell anticipates that with these new mixer installations through HydroCare, the Company will also generate new sales related to its dry acid hemodialysis concentrates. Rockwell Medical's DAMX45 dry acid concentrate mix system is 510(k) approved to be used exclusively with the Company's CitraPure^® and Dri-Sate^® dry acid concentrate powders.

"The dialysis water room is the heartbeat of the dialysis unit, housing the systems that provide highly purified water. It requires regular upkeep to stay clean and toxin-free," says Eric Cirignano, Founder and CEO of HydroCare. "At HydroCare, we focus on providing reliable dialysis water treatment systems that put patient safety first. Our product range includes large RO systems, disposables, and replacement parts. We needed a simple, easy-to-train solution for dry acid mixers, and found that and more with Rockwell Medical’s ‘ready-to-use’ DAMX45 dry acid concentrate mix system."

"We are excited to partner with HydroCare to sell and install our dry acid mixers as part of their dialysis water room installations," said Tim Chole, Chief Commercial Officer at Rockwell Medical. "Our mixer is compact, quick and easy to install, and FDA-approved for Rockwell's dry acid products. Using a forced RO water pump to mix the product, our mixer enables a dialysis clinic to mix 100 gallons of acid concentrate on-site in just three minutes. We believe that this partnership with HydroCare offers us another avenue to install Rockwell's mixers into more clinics to benefit more patients."
