Thank you, operator, and good morning. Thanks, one and all, for joining us on today's call. I am pleased to report another record quarter, making our 15th consecutive quarter of record revenues. For the first quarter of 2025, we achieved revenue of $19.5 million, which is an 11% increase over the same period last year. Gross profit came in at 76.1%, with earnings very strong as well, with GAAP diluted earnings per share increasing 16% from Q1 of 2024. Performance in the quarter was led by pump shipments, with bookings of our 3860 MRI IV pump continuing to excel in Q1. But I'm also very happy to report that shipments of our disposables grew well, and the bookings in Q1 indicate that our emphasis on the monitoring sales for 2025 can be expected to achieve our plans with this product line as well. Our CFO, Jack Glenn, will walk you through the financial details in a bit, but I'd like to address two other issues, questions of tariff impact and the FDA, particularly our 510 clearance and DOGE impacts. Starting with the tariff impact, in a word, it's too soon to tell, but a review of the amount of foreign, specifically Chinese, materials we utilize should provide a background. As you dive into our gross margin, or conversely our cost of goods, you would see that about 12% of revenue is BOM cost, or the parts and stuff we buy to make our products. Examining this further, we find that about 3% of revenue, a quarter of this BOM cost, is connected to high tariff sources. If Even in a horrible worst case, if Chinese tariffs should remain at 145%, our 3% cost of such high tariff parts goes to 4.35%. So we do not see the risk of material cost impacts directly from even this current first shot over the bow high tariff that we put in place against China. Still, there are many other indirect effects of tariffs that are very difficult to predict at this time. For one, there is the threat that we already see with certain suppliers raising their pricing by using tariffs more as an excuse to gouge. Watch that carefully, though. We are actively dealing with such tactics and so far are managing those well. The good news thus far is that we do not see our customers reacting or feeling tariff pain. Therefore, we can report that we remain optimistic with the plans and guidance we have given. As for DOGE impacts, particularly with the CDRH and FDA, it's interesting to note that we understand that some 20,000 jobs in this agency alone have reportedly been cut, yet we have felt nothing. We recently filed responses to the 50 or 60 additional information questions FDA asked us few months ago regarding the 3870s 510K filed back in October. And within a week, we had an FDA response. This sort of engagement appears very quick, certainly as quick as we have seen, and would indicate that work at the FDA continues to get done. Along the lines of FDA and 510K clearance, we iterate what I explained in prior calls. This new device, the 3870 MRIV pump, will be a 2026 revenue story. We are on track and remain expectant of clearance in mid-2025. However, we expect only slight revenue from this new device in Q4 2025, as the sell and shipment cycle is measured in months, even for an exciting and anticipated new offering. Moreover, as witnessed by the strong and continuing sales through customer replacement of the older 3860 IV pump driven from by discontinuing offering our extended maintenance on pumps seven years and older the new 3870 pump sales are expected to dwarf sales of this older model as the quarters progress through 2026 and into 2027 certainly finally with regard to our new facility under construction i'm pleased to report that we are at the finish stage with only minor material supply disturbances which the gc has managed to mitigate well at this point We are far enough that potential surprise material cost impacts are well behind us. We are confident in a June-July final certificate of occupancy with plans to begin moving as early as the 4th of July weekend, with full operations in the new building by the end of July. Now I'd like to outline what we expect to see in Q2 2025. As the second quarter 2025 financial guidance We expect revenue of $19.7 to $19.9 million with GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.37 to $0.40 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.41 to $0.44. We reiterate our 2025 revenue guidance of $78 to $82 million for the full year, GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.55 to $1.65, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.71 to $1.81. Now I'll turn the call over to Jack Glenn, our CFO, to review the quarter's financial results.

Thank you, Roger, and good morning, everyone. As in the past, our results are reported on a GAAP basis and non-GAAP basis. You can find a description of our non-GAAP operating measures in this morning's earnings release and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the GAAP measures on the last page of today's release. For the first quarter of 2025, we reported revenue of $19.5 million, an 11% increase compared to $17.6 million in Q1 of 2024. This growth was driven by sustained demand for our IV infusion pump systems, which grew 16% to $6 million, and disposable revenue, which increased 23% to $4.9 million. Patient vital signs monitoring system revenue remained steady at $6.5 million. Domestic sales accounted for 82% of total revenue in Q1 2025, up from 76% in Q1 of 2024. Domestic revenue increased 19% to $16 million, while international sales declined 15% to $3.5 million. Device revenue increased 9% to $13 million in the first quarter, driven by the increase in pump revenue and FMD systems. Revenue from disposables increased 23% in the quarter, reflecting higher pump utilization, and service revenue remained stable at $1 million. The gross margin was 76.1% for Q1 2025, consistent with Q1 of 2024, as we continue to manage our production cost effectively and maintain our ASPs for both products. Operating expenses were $9.4 million, or 48% of revenue, compared to $8.6 million, or 49% of revenue, in Q1 of 2024. The dollar increase was primarily driven by higher general and administrative expenses, up 16% to $4.6 million, due to a rise in legal and professional costs tied to the regulatory effort for the new pump and increased personnel and benefit costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased 9% to 4.2 million, reflecting all domestic sales territories being filled and higher commissions from strong domestic bookings in Q1. Research and development expenses decreased 24% to 0.6 million as we finalized key development phases for the 3870 pump. Operating income was 5.4 million or 14% increase from 4.7 million in Q1 of 2024. maintaining a solid operating margin of 28 percent. We recognize the tax expense of $1.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.2 percent for Q1 2025 compared to 21.1 percent in Q1 of 2024. GAAP net income was $4.7 million, or 37 cents per diluted share, a 16 percent increase from $4.1 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, in Q1 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $5.3 million or $0.42 per diluted share, up 17% from $4.6 million or $0.36 per diluted share in Q1 2024. Cash flow from operations was $4.3 million in Q1 2025, up 10% from $3.9 million in Q1 2024, Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.4 million, down from $3.4 million in Q1 2024 due to $3.9 million in capital expenditures in the quarter, of which $3.5 million was for the new facility. We expect to spend approximately $3 million more on the facility through its completion in July of 2025. And with that, I will turn the call over for questions. Operator.
