                              CONSENT OF KPMG LLP


         We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in this
Registration Statement on Form S-2 of our reports dated March 8, 2001, relating
to the consolidated balance sheets financial statements of Accumed
International, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2000, and related schedule, which reports
appear on Form 10-K/A of Accumed International Inc., and to the reference to
our firm under the heading "Independent Accounts" in the prospectus.

         Our reports dated March 8, 2001 contain an explanatory paragraph that
states that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a
working capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a growing concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
