Any properly completed proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted on any matter (without, however, affecting any vote taken prior to such revocation) by giving written notice of such revocation to the Secretary of the Company, or by signing and duly delivering a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

Telephone Voting Procedures

          The telephone authorization procedure is designated to authenticate proxies by use of a personal identification number. The procedures allow registered stockholders to authorize a proxy to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Specific instructions to be followed are set forth on the enclosed Proxy Card. If you choose to authorize a proxy by telephone, you must do so prior to 1:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, March 16, 2007. If you hold shares in a street name through a broker or bank, separate instructions for telephone proxy authorization may be provided on the voting instruction form provided by your broker or bank. Stockholders who return the Proxy Card are urged to specify their choices by marking the appropriate boxes on the card.

          The Annual Report of the Company, including financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, is being mailed to stockholders of the Company concurrently with this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report, however, is not a part of the proxy solicitation material.

           THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS THE CLASS II DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY.

           Audit Committee. The Audit Committee selects the independent accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to perform services related to the audit, reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants the Company’s annual operating results, reviews the Company’s periodic disclosure related to its financial statements, considers the adequacy of the internal accounting procedures, considers the effect of such procedures on the accountants’ independence and establishes policies for business values, ethics and employee relations. The Audit Committee currently consists of three directors, James C. Hawley, as Chairman, Solomon Aronson, M.D. and William D. Corneliuson, each of whom is not an employee of the Company and is considered independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Listing Standards and satisfy the other requirements for service on the Audit Committee set forth in Rule 4350 of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Listing Standards. At this stage of the Company, the financial statements and accounting issues of the Company tend to be relatively straightforward. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has determined not to appoint an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, though Mr. Corneliuson is considered financially sophisticated as such term is defined in Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Listing Standards. The Audit Committee has a written Charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which was amended and restated in February 2004 and was attached as Appendix B to our proxy statement for our 2004 Annual Meeting. A copy of this amended and restated Audit Committee Charter is available on our website at www.medwave.com and will be sent in paper form to any shareholder who submits a request to the Company’s Secretary at the address set forth on page 1. During fiscal year 2006, the Audit Committee held three meetings. The Audit Committee’s report to stockholders appears elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

           Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends the compensation arrangements for officers and other senior level employees, reviews general compensation levels for other employees as a group, reviews succession planning for senior management, reviews the options or stock to be granted to eligible persons under the Company’s 2004 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan and takes such other action as may be required in connection with the Company’s compensation and incentive plans. The Compensation Committee currently consists of two non-employee, independent directors, William D. Corneliuson, as Chairman, and Solomon Aronson, M.D., and held one meeting during fiscal year 2006. The Compensation Committee’s report on executive compensation appears elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

           Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In February 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the qualification and nomination process for potential director candidates, reviews the continued qualification of existing directors and is responsible for corporate governance oversight. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of two non-employee directors, William D. Corneliuson, as Chairman, and Solomon Aronson, M.D. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during fiscal year 2006. As required by Rule 4350(c) of the Nasdaq listing requirements, each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent as defined in Rule 4200 of the Nasdaq listing requirements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which is available on the Company’s website at www.medwave.com and will be sent in paper form to any shareholder who submits a request to the Company’s Secretary at the address set forth on page 1.

          The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review and consider director candidates who have been recommended by stockholders, with no regard to the source of the initial recommendation of the proposed candidate. Stockholders submitting candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should deliver a submission in writing to the Secretary of the Company and should follow the timing, informational and other requirements regarding stockholder proposals set forth in the Company’s By-laws or as set forth in Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Such proposal should specify whether the named person(s) should be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for inclusion as a Board of Directors nominee or whether the named person(s) are to be considered stockholder nominees under the By-laws. All securityholder recommendations for director candidates for election at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders must be submitted the Secretary of the Company on or before October 22, 2007 and must include the following information:

•

The name and address of the securityholder;

	•		A representation that the securityholder is a record holder the Company’s securities, or if the securityholder is not a record holder, evidence of ownership in accordance with Rule 14a8-(b)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
	•		The name, age, business and residential address, educational background, current principal occupation or employment, and principal occupation or employment for the preceding five (5) full fiscal years of the proposed director candidate;
	•		A description of the qualifications and background of the proposed director candidate which addresses the minimum qualifications and other criteria for Board membership as approved by the Board from time to time;
	•		A description of all arrangements or understandings between the securityholder and the proposed director candidate; and
	•		Any other information regarding the proposed director candidate that is required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

          At a minimum, each nominee, whether proposed by a stockholder or any other party, is expected to have the highest personal and professional integrity, shall demonstrate exceptional ability and judgment, have an experience base useful to the Company and complementary to the other directors, and shall be expected to effectively interact with other members of the Board to serve the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. A stockholder wishing to nominate a director separately from the slate of directors nominated by the Company should follow the procedures described in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Submission of Stockholder Proposals for 2008 Annual Meeting.”

Director Compensation

          Directors are not currently paid fees for attending meetings. Under the Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director receives an option to purchase shares of common stock upon his or her initial election to the Board. The two most recent appointments to the Company’s Board, Dr. Aronson in 2003 and Mr. Hawley in December 2006, were each granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock upon their appointment. Each such option is for a term of ten years and vests over a four-year period. In addition to awards upon appointment, after three years of service, each non-employee director annually receives a ten-year, non-qualified option to purchase 10,000 shares, which vests on the first anniversary of the date of grant if the director is still serving as a director. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, directors are also eligible for discretionary option grants. In January 2007, each of Messrs. Corneliuson and Katarow and Dr. Aronson were awarded an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock that vests over a four-year period.

Communication with the Board of Directors

          Any security holder desiring to send communications to the Board of Directors, or any individual director, may forward such document(s) to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s office in Arden Hills, Minnesota. The Secretary of the Company will collect and organize such communications and forward all of them to the Board of Directors or the particular director, as the case may be.

          The Company does not have a policy with respect to directors’ attendance at the Company’s annual meeting. Timothy O’Malley, a former director, attended the Company’s 2006 annual meeting.

Mr. Katarow served as President of Smiths Group’s Patient Monitoring Division and President of Smiths Group’s Veterinary Division for five years after the sale of BCI to Smiths Group.

Director Independence

          The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Corneliuson and Hawley and Dr. Aronson is an “independent director” in accordance with the corporate governance rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers because none of them have a relationship with Company other than (1) serving as a director and a Board of Director committee member and (2) having beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Therefore, the Company currently has a majority of “independent directors.”

Meetings of Independent Directors

          Independent directors of the Company regularly meet in executive sessions outside the presence of management. The presiding director for these meetings is currently Mr. Corneliuson. Any interested party who wishes to make their concerns known to the independent directors may contact Mr. Corneliuson by sending a communication to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s office in Arden Hills, Minnesota.

Departure of John Miclot

          On September 21, 2006, John Miclot resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. As previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, in connection with his resignation, Mr. Miclot submitted a letter to the Company indicating that that his resignation was prompted by his disagreement with the continuing members of the Board of Directors concerning the process followed and decisions reached by them regarding the development of the business and the resignation of Mr. O’Malley as Chief Executive Officer.
