1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1996, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The financial statements presented herein as of June 30, 1997 and for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 reflect, in the opinion of
management, all material adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for these interim periods.

2.  INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out
(FIFO) basis, or market. Inventories consist of the following:

                                            JUNE 30, 1997     DECEMBER 31, 1996

                                        ========================================
                                             $  1,204,348          $  1,203,372
                                        ========================================

3.  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Common stock
equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share since
they are antidilutive.

The FASB has issued Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which supersedes APB
Opinion No. 15. Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of earnings per
share by all entities that have common stock or potential common stock, such as
option, warrants and convertible securities, outstanding that trade in a public
market. Those entities that have only common stock outstanding are required to
present basic earnings per-share amounts. All other entities are required to
present basic and diluted per-share amounts. Diluted per-share amounts assume
the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments
unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per common stare
from continuing operations. All entities required to present per-share amounts
must initially apply Statement No. 128 for annual and interim periods ending
after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of
Statement No. 128 would have had no effect on reported earnings (loss) per
share.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information that the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and footnotes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Total revenues were $3,568,898 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $2,557,397 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing a 39.6%
increase. Sales of vessel introducers, primarily to Medtronic under an exclusive
distribution arrangement, were $2,118,063 for the six months ended June 30,
1997, compared to $1,618,282 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase was primarily due to Medtronic rebuilding its inventories of
introducers during the first four months of 1997 which were depleted during the
third quarter of 1996 because of a component supply problem. Medtronic has been
supplying this component to the Company, purchased from another supplier, for
use in the introducer kits sold to Medtronic. The Company has developed its own
version of the component and Medtronic has approved full market release on all
sizes of the component which will give the Company full control over all
component purchases in the future. Although introducer sales declined in the
second quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1997, the Company
benefited from overall increased sales to Medtronic compared to the second
quarter of 1996. The Company expects introducer sales to decline slightly in the
third quarter of 1997, as compared to the second quarter, to levels consistent
with Medtronic's normal sell-through to end user customers.

Contract manufacturing sales were $272,504 for the six months ended June 30,
1997, compared to $197,533 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase
was primarily due to one of the Company's contract manufacturing customers
placing larger orders than expected in the first quarter of 1997. However, this
customer also informed the Company that its sales of the product have not met
forecast and that they will not be placing any new orders for product until the
fourth quarter at the earliest. The Company also benefited from some additional
orders during the second quarter of 1997 from Boston Scientific which had been
manufacturing the product internally. The Company expects to see contract
manufacturing sales drop significantly in the third and fourth quarters. The
Company also does some contract research and development work periodically for
Medtronic and realized sales of $14,467 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
compared to $127,888 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This contract
research and development work is not expected to be a continuous revenue item
for the Company.

Sales of the Company's fiber optic pressure sensing catheter and monitor
transducer products were $1,163,864 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $613,694 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing a
89.7% increase. Monitor sales increased 65.7% or $333,087 and catheter and
accessory sales increased 203.9% or $217,083 over the comparable period. The
Company has continued to actively market the upgraded version of its LuMax(TM)
System into the gynecology and urology office markets by adding sales
management, attending major trade shows and conducting various direct mail and
telemarketing campaigns.

Total gross profit increased from $897,799 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, to $1,596,840 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
77.9%. Total gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 35.1% to 44.7% in
such periods. The gross profit percentage on vessel introducers and contract
manufacturing totaled 54.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
41.7% in the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in the gross profit
percentage on vessel introducers and contract manufacturing was primarily due to
increased sales to Medtronic, which resulted in the existing overhead being
allocated over more units. The Company lowered prices to Medtronic in May 1997
on many of the kit sizes that they purchase and will be lowering prices on the
remaining kit sizes in September 1997. The Company expects to see lower gross
margin percentages in the third quarter as the price reductions take effect.

For fiber optic products, the gross profit percent totaled 24.5% or $284,843 for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to 14.2% or $87,324 for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to
increased sales which resulted in the existing overhead being allocated over
more units. The Company is still addressing some catheter manufacturing yield
issues which negatively impacted gross profits during the first six months of
1997 and will impact the third quarter as well. As the Company's revenues
increase, the gross profit percent related to fiber optic products should
improve as a result of greater efficiencies and more effective utilization of
manufacturing capabilities.

Total research and development expenditures were $235,458 or 6.6% of sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $467,318 or 18.3% of sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. This decrease is due to lower spending on
the development of the LuMax system during the first six months of 1997 compared
to the first six months of 1996. The Company does plan to increase spending on
research and development in the third quarter as it continues working on
improving catheter yields.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $1,153,289 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 to $1,384,625 for the six months ended June 30,
1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased $213,472 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 over the comparable period in 1996 primarily because of increased
salary and commission expense. The Company hired a Vice President of Sales and
Marketing and two regional sales managers which were not in place during the
first six months of 1996. Commission expense increased during the comparable
periods due to increased sales activity. General and administrative expenses
increased $17,864 for the first six months of 1997 over the comparable period in
1996. This increase is primarily due to additional spending on outside
consultants to provide MIS support for the Company, as well as general salary
increases. Interest expense decreased from $52,230 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 to $47,403 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease can be
attributed to the prepayment of the $500,000 notes payable to private investors
in the first quarter of 1996 which resulted in the recognition, as interest
expense, of the remaining unamortized discount related to the notes.

As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $58,661 or $.01 per share for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to a net loss of $757,493 or $.21
per share for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Total revenues were $1,771,095 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $1,323,451 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, representing a 33.8%
increase. Sales of vessel introducers, primarily to Medtronic under an exclusive
distribution arrangement, were $964,083 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, compared to $763,315 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase was primarily due to a continuation of the first quarter inventory
build through April 1997, as well as overall increased buying levels from
Medtronic during the comparable period. The Company expects introducer sales to
decline slightly in the third quarter of 1997, as compared to the second
quarter, to levels consistent with Medtronic's normal sell-through to end user
customers.

Contract manufacturing sales were $85,264 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, compared to $77,784 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase was primarily due to several unexpected orders from Boston Scientific
which had been manufacturing the product internally. The Company expects to see
a significant drop in contract manufacturing sales during the third and fourth
quarters. Contract research and development sales were $14,467 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $127,888 for the three months ended June
30, 1996. This contract research and development work is not expected to be a
continuous revenue item for the Company.

Sales of the Company's fiber optic pressure sensing catheter and monitor
transducer products were $707,281 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $354,464 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Monitor sales
increased 76.4% or $225,363 and catheter and accessory sales increased 214.5% or
127,454 in the three months ended June 30, 1997 over the comparable period in
1996, primarily due to the factors discussed above.

Total gross profit increased from $439,810 for the three months ended June 30,
1996, to $785,788 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
78.7%. Total gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 33.2% in the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to 44.4% in the comparable period in 1997. The
gross profit percentage on vessel introducers and contract manufacturing totaled
50.8% in the second quarter of 1997, compared to 40.7% in the second quarter of
1996, primarily due to the factors discussed above. For fiber optic products,
the gross profit percent totaled 34.7% or $245,421 in the second quarter of 1997
compared to 12.8% or 45,247 in the second quarter of 1996, primarily due to the
factors discussed above.

Total research and development expenditures were $115,970 or 6.6% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $271,205 or 20.5% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to the factors discussed
above. The Company does expect to increase research and development expenditures
in the third quarter as it continues to work on improving catheter yields.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $594,055 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to $718,775 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased $123,488 and general and
administrative expenses increased $1,232 in the second quarter of 1997 compared
to the second quarter of 1996 primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Interest expense increased from $9,268 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
to $22,792 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to increased
borrowing levels on the line of credit during the comparable periods.

As a result, the Company incurred a net loss of $65,776 or $.02 per share for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to a net loss of $424,265 or $.11
per share for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$42,728, consisting of a net loss of $58,661 less adjustments for depreciation
and amortization of $246,013 and interest accretion of $759. The Company also
issued 1,425 shares of the Company's common stock to the independent sales rep
force as part of a sales incentive program. The market price on the date of
issue was $2.125 per share, totaling $3,028. In addition, cash was used to fund
net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $232,349. The Company saw a
decrease in accounts receivable during the first six months of 1997 primarily
due to increased collections from its LuMax customers and increased sales to
Medtronic which resulted in faster payments. The Company used the cash from
accounts receivable collections and a portion of its money market account to pay
down accounts payable during the period. The Company anticipates inventory and
receivables to increase during the second half of 1997 if sales of the fiber
optic products materialize as expected.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$113,108. The Company purchased $109,982 of equipment during the period and had
additions to patent rights of $3,126.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$134,848. The Company paid down the credit line by $145,901 during the period
and had a balance due on the line of $636,882 as of June 30, 1997. Additionally,
a medical consultant exercised a warrant for 40,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, totaling $50,000. The
Company also made principal debt payments totaling $38,947.

As a result, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $915,099 as of June
30, 1997 compared to $1,205,783 at December 31, 1996. Working capital increased
from $1,685,731 as of December 31, 1996 to $1,791,785 as of June 30, 1997.

On June 24, 1997, the Company signed a one year extension through June 30, 1998
on its $1,200,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The
availability under the line is subject to borrowing base requirements, and
advances are at the discretion of the lender. The agreement calls for interest
at the rate of 2.25% over the financial institution's base rate with minimum
interest due over the term of the agreement of $70,000. The line is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets.

If sales estimates and working capital needs meet the Company's projections, the
Company believes its available cash and investments, along with borrowing
availability under its $1,200,000 line of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated operating expenses and cash requirements for the
foreseeable future. If the sales estimates are not realized or working capital
requirements exceed those projected, the Company may need to secure additional
capital or, if capital is not available, to curtail its marketing efforts.

Forward-looking statements herein are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Certain important
factors could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some
statements made herein. You are cautioned that all forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause results to
differ materially are the following: delays in new product launches; lack of
market acceptance of the Company's products; introduction of competitive
products; patent and government regulation matters and the Risk Factors included
in Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13,
1996.

                  This Amendment, dated as of June 24, 1997, is made by and

the Credit Agreement, which the Lender is willing to make pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

                  market value of the Liquid Assets is less than the Medtronic
                  Contra Amount, then that portion of Accounts that is subject
                  to the Medtronic Contra Amount shall only be deemed Eligible
                  Account to the extent of the Liquid Assets;

                           (3) That portion of Accounts not yet earned by the

                  first priority perfected security interest and (B) such
                  Accounts may be enforced by the Lender directly against such

                  outside the United States which are not backed by a bank

                  the Lender and acceptable to the Lender in all respects, in

                  more than thirty (30) days beyond the original due date,
                  restructured, amended or modified;

                           (10) That portion of Accounts that constitutes
                  finance charges, service charges or sales or excise taxes;

                           (11) Accounts owed by an account debtor, regardless
                  of whether otherwise eligible, if 10% or more of the total
                  amount due under Accounts from such debtor is ineligible under
                  clauses (1), (2) or (9) above; and

                           (12) Accounts, or portions thereof, otherwise deemed

         corporation, the Borrower shall at all times own and maintain in an
         account or accounts with Norwest Investment Services, Inc. ("NISI"),
         unencumbered Liquid Assets, free and clear of any right of set off and
         of any related margin account debt. The fair market value of such
         Liquid Assets must be of an amount that is greater than the amount of
         the Borrower's outstanding obligations owed to Medtronic, Inc. To
         facilitate the monitoring of the status of the Liquid Asset
         requirement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the monthly
         statements for such NISI accounts for the prior month stating the
         respective fair market values of the securities in the accounts upon
         receipt thereof, and shall deliver such other information on the
         Borrower's accounts at NISI as the Lender may request. The Borrower
         hereby authorizes the Lender to directly contact NISI in order to
         obtain information on the Borrower's accounts at NISI. In addition, if
         the fair market value of the Liquid Assets falls below $300,000, the
         Borrower shall provide the Lender with the Borrower's accounts payable
         reports on a bi-weekly basis, or more frequently if the Lender so
         requests."

Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
