Daxor Corporation manufactures and markets the BVA-100 Blood Volume Analyzer, which is used in conjunction with Volumex, Daxor's single use diagnostic kit. Blood volume derangements are an integral part of the decompensation which afflicts congestive heart failure patients. Previous published studies have demonstrated that experienced cardiologists are only correct 51% of the time in estimating whether the patients have an expanded normal, or decreased blood volume. Patients whose medical treatment results in a restoration of a blood volume to normal have a much better prognosis than patients whose treatment does not accomplish this goal. Direct measurement of blood volume enables physicians to precisely target a patient's treatment goals. 

The Board of Directors of Daxor Corporation held a meeting on March 20, 2013 and approved the renewal of the 250,000 share buyback program of Daxor stock. In 2012 Daxor repurchased 69,000 of its shares on the open market. Due to various regulatory limitations the company was not able to buy back all the shares that were authorized in 2012.
