SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., April 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq:ICUI), a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of innovative medical devices used in infusion therapy, oncology and critical care applications, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Scott Lamb, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our revenue and profitability for the first quarter reflected robust growth in infusion therapy, standard oncology and TEGO products, offset by an expected decline in critical care.
