ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On July 12, 1995, the Company announced that the U.S. Federal District Court in
Delaware had issued a decision in favor of the Company, ruling that four key
oximeter and sensor technology patents are valid and would be infringed by
Ohmeda Inc., a subsidiary of BOC Health Care Inc., if Ohmeda sold either its
adult or neonatal OxyTip sensors for use with non-Ohmeda monitors. BOC Health
Care had filed the suit in December 1992, seeking a declaratory judgment that
Nellcor's patents were invalid and would not be infringed.
