ZEVEX International, Inc. (ZEVEX), incorporated in December 1987, engages in the business of designing, manufacturing and distributing medical devices. The Company's Therapeutics division markets enteral nutrition delivery devices. ZEVEX's Applied Technology division provides design and manufacturing services to medical device leaders who, in turn, sell ZEVEX's components and systems under private labels or incorporate them into their products. These original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products include ultrasonic sensors and surgical handpieces, optoelectronic components and electronic instruments. Until its sale, during the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company's Physical Evaluation division marketed physical evaluation testing systems. Therapeutic Products Through its therapeutics division, the Company sells two lines of enteral feeding pumps and a variety of related disposable delivery sets and accessories. ZEVEX offers the EnteraLite Infinity for patients who require direct gastrointestinal nutritional therapy. The EnteraLite Infinity, has features that include the ability to operate in any orientation, +/-5% accuracy and a 24-hour battery. The EnteraLite Infinity builds upon the user interface and superior accuracy of the original EnteraLite pump, with an expanded feature set that provides benefits of use in enteral feeding applications. The features of the EnteraLite Infinity are the result of input from patients, clinicians, caregivers and durable medical equipment providers. The accuracy, portability, size and ruggedness of the EnteraLite Infinity allow patients to remove the barriers of utilizing an enteral feeding pump. The 1998 acquisition of Nutrition Medical's line of stationary pumps, delivery sets and feeding tubes, followed by the 2000 acquisition of the installed base of Nestle USA stationary pumps expanded ZEVEX's line of enteral delivery products. The Company manufactures and distributes these stationary enteral feeding pumps, which are intended for applications where patients are not mobile. Complementing these pump models are a line of disposable delivery sets sold by ZEVEX for use with the stationary pumps. These sets include feeding solution bags of various sizes, as well as spike sets for use with pre-filled feeding solution containers. The Company competes with Abbott Laboratories, Tyco and Novartis. Applied Technology Contract Design and Manufacturing Services ZEVEX provides design and manufacturing services to medical companies who sell its components and systems under private labels or incorporate them into their products. The Company provides these services for technology companies, such as Cardinal Health, Inc. (formerly Alaris Medical Systems, Inc.,), Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., various divisions of Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Medtronic Corporation, Smith's Industries, Inc., Edwards Lifesciences and Terumo Corporation. ZEVEX offers its customers over 18 years of specialized engineering and manufacturing expertise. The Company designs and manufactures ultrasonic phacoemulsification handpieces and handpiece drive circuits for the surgical removal of cataracts. Phacoemulsification is a method of cataract extraction that uses ultrasound waves to break the cataract-obstructed lens of the eye into small fragments that can be removed through a hollow needle. Phacoemulsification is used in more than 90% of cataract procedures in the United States. ZEVEX designs and manufactures non-invasive ultrasonic sensors for the detection of air bubbles and the monitoring of liquid levels in critical medical systems. The Company's air bubble detectors monitor intravenous fluid lines in drug infusion pumps, hemodialysis machines, blood collection systems and cardiopulmonary bypass systems. ZEVEX's liquid level detectors utilize ZEVEX's dry acoustic coupling technology and are used to monitor critical liquid levels in reservoirs employed in cardiopulmonary bypass systems. The Company designs and manufactures optical emitters and detectors, custom integrated circuit (IC)
