Date:3/19/2008

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Biopure Corporation (Nasdaq: BPUR) announced today that the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has completed its inspection of the company's Pennsylvania manufacturing facility. The inspection report contained no "Critical" and no "Major" deficiencies in compliance with good manufacturing practices. The MHRA report identified shortcomings characterized as "Other," with a request for a response detailing the company's corrective actions within 35 working days.

According to John Tomera, Director of Regulatory Affairs at Biopure, "We are pleased with the MHRA's inspection result, which attests to our efforts toward consistently maintaining quality standards. We anticipate being able readily to address all of the issues that were cited by the MHRA."

As previously announced, Biopure has pending with the MHRA a marketing authorization application to market Hemopure in the United Kingdom for acute anemia during elective orthopedic surgery where red blood cell transfusion is not available. The inspection is a routine part of the application procedure.

No inspection of the company's manufacturing facility in Massachusetts is scheduled at this time or expected to occur before the MHRA next communicates about the pending application.
