Exhibit 99.1 [ICU MEDICAL, INC. LOGO] ICU MEDICAL, INC.

Revenues were $30,776,000, marking the first time the Company exceeded $30 million in quarterly revenue. They were up 47% from net revenues of $20,905,000 in the first quarter of 2002. Net income for the quarter was $7,070,000, up 56% from the $4,523,000 earned in the first quarter of 2002, and earnings per share were 46 cents, up from the 30 cents reported last year.
