According to its Annual Report filed with the SEC for fiscal year 2014: "We sell certain non-military use medical devices and equipment through independent distributors who resell such devices in Iran on a purchase-order basis. Our direct activities in Iran are limited to occasional visits to provide distributor training and to conduct customer surveys. In 2014, net revenues generated by distributors covering Iran amounted to $7.5 million, representing 0.56% of our total net revenues. We do not believe that our Iranian distributors fall within any of the proscribed categories set forth in Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012. However, as we do not have direct knowledge of the identity of the distributors’ downstream customers, it is possible that these customers include entities, such as hospitals and pharmacies that are owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Iranian government or by sanctioned persons or entities. Following a review of our business with Iran, we do not anticipate any change in our business operations in Iran in the near future."

According to an Annual Report filed with the SEC: "United States export laws permit the sale of medical products to certain countries under embargo by the United States government if the seller of such products obtains a license to do so, which requirements are in place because the United States has designated such countries as state sponsors of terrorism. Certain of our products have been sold in Iran, Sudan and Syria under license through distribution agreements with independent distributors. The aggregate revenue generated by sales of our products into Iran, Sudan and Syria have been immaterial to our business and results of operations. We may continue to supply medical devices to Iran, Sudan and Syria and other countries that are under embargo by the United States government upon obtaining all necessary licenses."
