Press Release

                    Nephros Announces 510(k) Filing with FDA
                    For its OLpur(TM) HD190 High Flux Filter

NEW YORK, March 14, 2005 -- Nephros, Inc. (AMEX: NEP), announced today that it
has provided a 510(k) submission for its OLpur(TM) HD190 to the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Company's OLpur(TM) HD190 is a high flux filter designed for use in a
variety of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) therapies, including dialysis and
hemodiafiltration (HDF). Submission of form 510(k) is the first step for Nephros
in the regulatory process to gain approval for its ESRD therapies in the U.S.

Norman Barta, chief executive officer of Nephros, stated, "Our initial filing
for approval in the U.S. is an important step in working with the FDA. While we
do not anticipate OLpur HD190 to provide a significant sales opportunity in the
foreseeable future, this filing will help streamline the process as we submit
other existing products for U.S. approval. The OLpur(TM) HD190 high flux filter
for example shares similar components with our core OLpur(TM) MD190 filter, and
we believe this 510(k) filing will serve to lay the groundwork and help
accelerate approval for the OLpur(TM) MD190 in the U.S."

The Company's OLpur(TM) MD190 hemodiafilter is an advanced proprietary cartridge
designed specifically for use in HDF therapy, which is currently not available
in the U.S. The OLpur(TM) MD190 hemodiafilter received CE Mark regulatory
approval in 2003 and is currently in use in Europe, including the U.K., France,
Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Nephros plans to seek FDA approval of its
OLpur(TM) MD190 and its OLpur(TM) H2H(TM) - an add-on module that converts the
most common types of hemodialysis machines into HDF-capable machines - and to
introduce both products in the U.S. simultaneously.

About Nephros, Inc.

Nephros, Inc., headquartered in New York, is a medical device company developing
and marketing products designed to improve the quality of life for the End Stage
Renal Disease (ESRD) patient, while addressing the critical financial and
clinical needs of the care provider. ESRD is a disease state characterized by
the irreversible loss of kidney function. Nephros believes that its products
remove a range of harmful substances more effectively, and more
cost-effectively, than existing treatment methods; particularly with respect to
substances known collectively as "middle molecules", due to their molecular
weight, that have been found to contribute to such conditions as carpal tunnel
syndrome, dialysis related amyloidosis, degenerative bone disease, and
ultimately, to mortality in the ESRD patient.
