FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Net revenues: Net revenues for Q1 '05 totaled $19.3 million, compared to $11.6 million of adjusted net revenues and $4.8 million of net revenues in Q1 '04, representing increases of 67% and 300%, respectively. Three factors contributed to these increases in net revenues: first, the positive reception of the IR 1250 pump launch in the U.S.; second, the positive international market response to the IR 1200 pump; and third, increased sales of ancillary Subordinate; aiding.

Gross margin: First quarter gross margin was $11.3 million, or 58% of net revenues, up from a 56% adjusted gross margin percentage in Q1 '04, reflecting reduced cost of ancillary supplies and better absorption absorption [Lat.,=sucking from], taking of molecules of one substance directly into another substance.

Research and development (or "R&D") expenses: First quarter R&D expenses were $1.7 million, compared to $1.4 million in Q1 '04.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (or "SG&A"): First quarter SG&A expenses, were $10.7 million or 56% of net revenues, compared to SG&A expenses of 73% of adjusted net revenues in Q1 '04, which reflects increased operating leverage Operating Leverage

Purchased in-process research and development: In March 2005, the Company acquired certain assets of Cygnus, Inc. The cost of this acquisition, including transaction charges, was $10.6 million, of which $9.3 million was charged to expense as purchased in-process research and development, $1.2 million was recorded as property and equipment, and $0.1 million was recorded as inventory.

Net loss: Including the $9.3 million Cygnus in-process research and development charges, the net loss for the quarter totaled $10.4 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to a net loss of $8.1 million, or $2.01 per share, in the prior year period. The Company had adjusted net loss of $1.1 million in the quarter, compared to an adjusted net loss of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. Of the $1.1 million net loss, $326,000 was a result of increased warranty reserve charge associated with the IR 1250 recall announced on April 11.

Second quarter and year guidance: For the year, the Company is raising its net revenue guidance from a range of $82 to $84 million to a range of $84 to $87 million. Net income guidance remains between $3 and $4 million, excluding any charges associated with the Cygnus transaction. Guidance for second quarter net revenues is $19.5 to $20.5 million, compared to adjusted net revenues of $14.4 million in Q2 '04, an increase of approximately ap·prox·i·mate

Note:

The reconciliation of net revenues, cost of products sold and net loss
is to provide useful information indicative of the Company's core
operating results and permit the comparison of shipments relating to
the demand generated in the three months ended March 31, 2005 to that
of the prior year period, respectively. To effectively measure the
ongoing operations and the demand shipments for the period, the
Company eliminated the effect of the write-off of purchased in-process
research and development, the deferral of revenue relating to the pump
upgrade program and the delayed shipments of unfulfilled orders of the
IR 1200. The non-GAAP measures are included to provide investors and
management with an alternative method for assessing the Company's
operating results that is focused on the performance of the Company's
