The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 15301 Highway 55 West, Plymouth, MN 55447. The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is to report that the Reporting Persons, Kohler and Redleaf no longer act as a group with respect to the Company's securities and the group has been dissolved. To terminate the continuing obligation of the group to file reports on Schedule 13D, Items 3 and 7 are hereby amended to read as set forth below. Due to their beneficial ownership of approximately 6.9% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock as previously reported in Amendment No. 2, only the Reporting Persons will continue to file reports on Schedule 13D, as may be required from time to time. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION As of October 25, 2000, the Reporting Persons, Kohler and Redleaf have agreed to dissolve the group they previously formed to acquire and hold securities of the Company. The Reporting Persons, Kohler and Redleaf no longer hold, or act with respect to, the Company's securities as a group for the purpose of effecting or changing the control of the Company, nor in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect. The Reporting Persons, Kohler and Redleaf now hold their respective Company securities in their individual capacities and will report, as may be required, and will otherwise take action with respect to such securities, individually. The group expressed its belief on numerous occasions to the Company's management that the Company's shares were undervalued, and that the Company's shareholders would be better served if the Company focused its efforts on its rapidly growing and profitable Vascular Access business. While the group was given no assurance by the Company that the Lumax Urology division would be sold or otherwise disposed of, the members of the group became confident that the Company's management is committed to maximizing shareholder value and that the Company's management is considering its options regarding the Lumax Urology division. Accordingly, members of the group believe their efforts have been successful and have decided to dissolve the group. As may be required from time to time, the Reporting Persons will continue to file amendments to this Schedule 13D to report with respect to their ownership of approximately 6.9% of the Company's outstanding securities which they hold in the ordinary course of PT's business for the benefit of the limited partners of PT, none of whom alone has an interest exceeding 5% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. At their discretion, the Reporting Persons may attempt to dispose any or all of the Company's Common Stock they own in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Otherwise, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or intention which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D. ITEM 7.
