     Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pollution v. IGE Medical Systems Limited
(St. Albans Magistrates Court, St. Albans,  Hertsfordshire,  England,  Case
No. 04/00320181)

     In April,  1994,  GE's U.K.  subsidiary,  IGE Medical  Systems Limited
("IGEMS")  discovered  the  loss  of a  radioactive  barium  source  at the
Radlett,  England  facility.  The lost source,  used to  calibrate  nuclear
camera  detectors,  emits a very low level of radiation.  IGEMS immediately
reported the loss as required by the U.K.  Radioactive  Substances  Act. An
ensuing   investigation,   conducted   in   cooperation   with   government
authorities,  failed to locate the source.  On July 21, 1994, Her Majesty's
Inspectorate  of  Pollution  ("HMIP")  charged  IGEMS  with  violating  the
Radioactive  Substances  Act by  failing  to  comply  with a  condition  of
registration.  The act provides that a registrant  like IGEMS,  which "does
not comply with a limitation  on or  condition  subject to which (it) is so
registered  ...  shall be guilty of (a criminal)  offense."  Condition 7 of
IGEMS'  registration  states  that  it  "shall  so  far  as  is  reasonably
practicable prevent ... loss of any registered source."

     At the beginning of trial on February 24, 1995, IGEMS entered a guilty
plea and  agreed  to pay of fine of  (pound)  5,000 and  assessed  costs of
(pound) 5,754. The prosecutor's  presentation focused primarily on the 1991
change in internal IGEMS procedures and, in particular,  the source logging
procedure.  The prosecutor complimented IGEMS' investigation and efforts to
locate  the  source  and  advised  the court  that  IGEMS  had no  previous
violations of the  Radioactive  Substances Act. He also told the court that
the Radlett  plant had been  highlighted  as an exemplary  facility to HIMP
inspectors as part of their training.  In mitigation,  IGEMS emphasized the
significant  infrastructure  and  expense  undertaken  by IGEMS to  provide
security  for  radiation  sources  and the  significant  effort and expense
incurred in attempting to locate the missing source.

     To the best knowledge of the applicable  Reporting Person, all persons
identified  in Schedules I through IV are United  States  citizens,  except
that: P. Fresco is a citizen of Italy, C.X. Gonzalez is a citizen of Mexico
and Andrea Jung is a citizen of Canada.

ITEM 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
         -------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant  to the Stock  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of April 5, 1999
(the  "April  Stock  Purchase  Agreement"),  a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 2 hereto and is hereby  incorporated by reference herein, GE Equity
agreed to  purchase  87,364  shares of the  Issuer's  Series E  Convertible
Preferred  Stock for aggregate  consideration  of $999,994.55 at an initial
closing,  which was subsequently  held on April 7, 1999, and 458,664 shares
of the  Issuer's  Series E  Convertible  Preferred  Stock for an  aggregate
consideration of $5,250,005.74 at a second closing,  which was subsequently
held on April 21, 1999. The funds used to purchase these  preferred  shares
were obtained by GE Equity from working  capital.  In  connection  with the
purchase of these preferred  shares,  GE Equity entered into a Registration
Agreement dated April 7, 1999 (the "April Registration  Agreement") and the
Amended and Restated Stockholders  Agreement dated as of April 7, 1999 (the
"Stockholders Agreement"), copies of which are attached as Exhibits 3 and 4
hereto,  respectively,  and are hereby incorporated by reference herein. As
of the  closing of the  Issuer's  initial  public  offering  (the "IPO") on

                            Page 7 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
January 31, 2000,  the  preferred  shares held by GE Equity were  converted
into 2,165,547 shares of Common Stock (the "Converted Preferred Shares").

     On June 11, 1999,  GE and the Issuer  entered into a Warrant  Purchase
Agreement (the "Warrant Purchase  Agreement"),  a copy of which is attached
as  Exhibit  5 hereto  and is  hereby  incorporated  by  reference  herein,
pursuant  to which GE  acquired  a  warrant  (the  "Warrant")  to  purchase
1,189,900 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant,  a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit 6 hereto and is hereby  incorporated  by  reference  herein,  is
exercisable  through  June  17,  2004 at a price  of $3.46  per  share.  In
addition,  GE and the Company entered into a Development  and  Distribution
Agreement  dated as of June 11,  1999 (the  "Development  and  Distribution
Agreement")  and a  Registration  Agreement  dated as of June 17, 1999 (the
"June Registration Agreement"),  copies of which are attached as Exhibits 7
and 8  hereto,  respectively,  and are  hereby  incorporated  by  reference
herein,  and GE  entered  into a  lock-up  agreement  with  respect  to the
Issuer's  securities  following an IPO and the  Stockholders  Agreement was
amended to add GE as a party thereto.

     Pursuant to the Stock Purchase  Agreement dated as of January 18, 2000
(the "January  Stock Purchase  Agreement"),  a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 9 hereto and is hereby  incorporated by reference herein, GE Equity
agreed to purchase  $3,750,000 of Common Stock from the Issuer in a private
placement to close concurrently with the IPO at the same per share price at
which Common  Stock is sold in the IPO. As of January 31,  2000,  GE Equity
purchased 340,909 shares (the "January Common Shares") of Common Stock from
the Issuer for  $3,750,000.  The funds used to purchase  these  shares were
obtained by GE Equity from working capital.

     The Stockholders Agreement was terminated upon closing of the IPO.


ITEM 4.  Purpose of Transaction
         ----------------------

     GE Equity  acquired  the  Converted  Preferred  Shares  and the Common
Shares and GE acquired the Warrant as an investment.

     Each of GE Equity and GE intends to review its investment on a regular
basis and as a result thereof may at any time or from time to time, acquire
additional  securities  of the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of any
securities  of the  Issuer  in the  open  market  or  otherwise.  Any  such
acquisition or disposition  would be made in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations.

     The Issuer had agreed  that,  effective  with the  closing of the IPO,
unless  waived by GE Equity,  the Issuer would  nominate and  recommend for
election as a director a designee of GE Equity.  GE Equity has since waived
this right.

     Although the foregoing  represents  the range of activities  presently
contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer, it should
be noted that the possible  activities of the Reporting Persons are subject
to change at any time.

                            Page 8 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
     Except as set  forth  above,  none of the  Reporting  Persons  has any
present  plans or proposals  which related to or would result in any of the
actions  described in  subparagraphs  (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D.


ITEM 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
         ------------------------------------

     GE Equity and GECC share voting and dispositive  power with respect to
2,506,456 shares of Common Stock,  representing  approximately 14.5% of the
outstanding  shares of Common  Stock.  GE has sole  voting and  dispositive
power with respect to 1,189,800  shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon the
conversion  of  the  Warrant,   representing   approximately  6.5%  of  the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming the exercise of the Warrant).

     The  responses of each  Reporting  Person to Items 7 through 11 of the
cover pages of this Schedule 13D relating to beneficial ownership of shares
of Common Stock are incorporated herein by reference.

     As described  in detail in Item 3 above,  GE Equity  acquired  340,909
shares  of  Common  Stock  for  $3,750,000  from the  Issuer  in a  private
placement on January 31, 2000.

     Except  as set forth  above,  no  Reporting  Person  nor,  to the best
knowledge of the  applicable  Reporting  Person,  any person  identified in
Schedules I through IV, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock or has
effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the preceding 60
days.


ITEM 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
         Respect to Securities of the Issuer
         -----------------------------------

     Reference  is made to the April Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  the April
Registration Agreement,  the Stockholders  Agreement,  the Warrant Purchase
Agreement,  the Warrant,  the Development and Distribution  Agreement,  the
June  Registration  Agreement,  the January Stock Purchase  Agreement,  the
Letter of Engagement  dated November 29, 1999 by and between the Issuer and
GE and the Amendment  Number One dated December 22, 1999 to the Development
and  Distribution  Agreement  by and between  the Issuer and GE,  copies of
which are attached as Exhibits 2 to 11 hereto, respectively,  and which are
hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     The Issuer had agreed  that,  effective  with the  closing of the IPO,
unless  waived by GE Equity,  the Issuer would  nominate and  recommend for
election as a director a designee of GE Equity.  GE Equity has since waived
this right.

     Pursuant  to the April  Registration  Agreement,  the  Issuer  granted
registration  rights with respect to the Converted  Preferred  Shares to GE
Equity.   Pursuant  to  the  April  Registration  Agreement,  at  any  time
commencing  six months  after the closing of the IPO, GE Equity may request
registration  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") of all or part of the Converted  Preferred  Shares on (i) Form S-1 or
any similar or successor long-form registration("Long-Form Registrations"),
or (ii)  Form  S-3 or any  similar  or  successor  short-form  registration
("Short-Form   Registrations"),   if  a  Short-Form  Registration  is  then
available to the Issuer.  Pursuant to the April Registration  Agreement, GE
Equity is  entitled  to request two  Long-Form  Registrations  in which the
Issuer will pay all  registration  expenses;  provided that each  Long-Form

                            Page 9 of 12 Pages
<PAGE>
Registration  include  the  lesser  of (i) at  least  30% of the  Converted
Preferred  Shares  and (ii)  Converted  Preferred  Shares  having a minimum
anticipated offering price of at least $5,000,000. In addition, pursuant to
the April Registration Agreement, GE Equity is entitled to request not more
than  four  Short-Form  Registrations  in  which  the  Issuer  will pay all
registration expenses.

     Pursuant  to the  June  Registration  Agreement,  the  Issuer  granted
registration  rights with respect to the shares  issuable  upon exercise of
the  Warrant to GE.  Pursuant  to the June  Registration  Agreement,  GE is
entitled  to  request  one  Long-Form   Registration   and  two  Short-Form
Registrations,  with respect to the shares  issuable  upon  exercise of the
Warrant, in which the Issuer will pay all registration expenses.

     Pursuant to the January Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to
include the January Common Shares with the Converted Preferred Shares under
the April  Registration  Agreement,  thus  granting  the same  registration
rights to the January Common Shares as described  above with respect to the
Converted Preferred Shares.

     Pursuant to agreements  with an  underwriter of the IPO, GE Equity and
GE have agreed not to sell or  otherwise  transfer  away  ownership  of any
shares  of  Common  Stock or  securities  convertible  into  Common  Stock,
including the Warrant, for a period of 180 days following the IPO.

     Except as set forth or incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13D,
no Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the applicable  Reporting
Person, any person identified in Schedules I through IV, has any contracts,
arrangements,  understandings or relationships beneficially owns any shares
of Common Stock or has effected any  transactions in shares of Common Stock
during the preceding 60 days.
