             FDA APPROVES MARKETING OF RMS SUBCUTANEOUS NEEDLE SETS

(Chester, NY - May 31, 2011) - Repro-Med Systems, Inc., (REPR.PK) announced
today that it has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
to begin U.S. marketing of its new Subcutaneous Needle Sets which the company is
promoting as the HIgh Flo(TM) RMS Subcutaneous Needle Sets. The needle sets are
intended for the delivery of medication to subcutaneous tissue. The needle sets
have previously been approved and available for use by patients in Canada and
Europe. Repro-Med Systems, Inc. utilizes the name RMS Medical Products.

"The FDA's approval allows patients here in the U.S., where our products are
manufactured, to enjoy the benefits realized currently by many patients
overseas," said Andrew I. Sealfon, president of the company, based in Chester,
NY. "Although we use a needle which is smaller in gauge than many needles being
used for subcutaneous administration of certain drugs, our design results in
flow rates comparable to, or better than, the flow rates of the larger needles.
This can result in less pain and discomfort for the patient, less insertion
difficulty for the patient and medical personnel, and shorter infusion times,"
Sealfon added.

The needle sets are an ideal companion for RMS Medical Products' FREEDOM60(R)
Syringe Infusion System, which has enhanced the lifestyle of numerous patients
requiring regular drug infusions due to its portability and ease of use.
FREEDOM60(R) enjoys widespread use by ambulatory patients at home as well as
those in healthcare facilities. "Even though the RMS Subcutaneous Needle Sets
provide advanced fluidics, the pricing will be highly competitive, just as
FREEDOM60(R) has been in the infusion pump market," Sealfon said.

The RMS Subcutaneous Needle Sets use custom designed, approximately 26-gauge
needles, which have a smaller outside diameter than commonly used 24-gauge
needles. This translates into less "ouch" when the needles are inserted, and
greater comfort throughout lengthy infusions. The sets have superior fluidics
resulting in faster flow rates. When used in multi-needle sets, as typically is
the case for subcutaneous immune globulin infusions, the RMS Subcutaneous Needle
Sets distribute equal volumes of drug to all needles. The sets are available in
single, double, triple, and quad configurations. RMS produces a low residual "Y"
connector, which allows up to eight needles to be used for a single infusion.
Needles lengths currently available are 6mm, 9mm, and 12mm.

"We believe that patients who may be fearful of needles, or are uncomfortable
with the thought of having to undergo lengthy infusions, will appreciate the
potential benefits, as will health care providers," Sealfon concluded.

RMS Medical Products is the manufacturer of the FREEDOM60(R) Syringe Infusion
System and the RES-Q-VAC(R) hand powered suction device. A primary use for the
FREEDOM60(R) Syringe Infusion Pump is in subcutaneous administration of immune
globulin due to its safe, controlled pressure and ability to adjust
automatically to the flow. The inherently safe pressures used to deliver drugs
to patients minimize discomfort, swelling and other complications sometimes
found with conventional electric infusion devices. There are additional
applications such as the delivery of antibiotics for the ambulatory patient.
