1. The Company	CAS Medical Systems, Inc. ("CASMED®" or the "Company") is a leader in non-invasive patient monitoring of cerebral oxygenation. The Company's FORE-SIGHT® Absolute Cerebral Oximeter provides a highly accurate, non-invasive, continuous measurement of absolute cerebral tissue oxygen saturation for patients during critical care. Direct monitoring of tissue oxygenation provides a superior and powerful tool to alert clinicians to otherwise unrecognized and dangerously low levels of oxygenation of the brain and other tissues, thereby empowering them to intervene appropriately in the care of their patients. In addition to FORE-SIGHT oximeters and accessories, which comprised approximately 83% of Company sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company also provides proprietary non-invasive blood pressure monitoring solutions for OEM use and service parts that the Company categorizes as Traditional Monitoring.
