Exhibit 1.01

 

Conflict Minerals Report of Outset Medical, Inc.

for the reporting period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022

 

Introduction

 

This Conflict Minerals Report (the “Report”) of Outset Medical, Inc. (“Outset”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for calendar year 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products and the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals, which are collectively referred to in this Report as “Conflict Minerals,” are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten. The “Covered Countries,” for the purposes of the Rule and this Report, are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and each adjoining country. Certain other terms in this Report are defined in the Rule, Form SD or SEC Release No. 34-67716 issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 22, 2012, and the reader is referred to those sources for such definitions.

 

Company and Product Overview

 

Outset is headquartered in the United States and operates a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Outset is a medical technology company pioneering a first-of-its-kind technology to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis. We believe the Tablo® Hemodialysis System, cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use from the hospital to the home, represents a significant technological advancement that transforms the dialysis experience for patients and operationally simplifies it for providers. We designed Tablo from the ground up to be a single enterprise solution that can be utilized across the continuum of care, allowing dialysis to be delivered anywhere, anytime and by virtually anyone.

 

The Tablo Hemodialysis System includes: (i) the Tablo console, a compact, mobile machine consisting of an integrated water purification, on-demand dialysate production system and touchscreen interface and (ii) the Tablo cartridge, a disposable single use pre-strung cartridge that clicks into place and consists of pre-configured blood, saline, and infusion tubing. During 2022, we introduced TabloCart, a non-medical accessory for the Tablo system that provides added maneuverability and optional prefiltration storage.

 

This Report relates to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to their functionality or production; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by Outset; and (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during the Reporting Period. These products, which are referred to in this Report collectively as the “Covered Products,” include the Tablo console and TabloCart. Based on our assessment of the underlying components, which contain only plastics, we determined that Tablo cartridges manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by us in 2022 did not contain Conflict Minerals. As a result, Tablo cartridges are not Covered Products for this Reporting Period.

 

Supply Chain Overview

 

As a “downstream” purchaser of products or components that contain Conflict Minerals, we are at the end of a very long supply chain where we manufacture or contract to manufacture products and do not directly source Conflict Minerals from mines, smelters or refiners nor specifically design Conflict Minerals into our products.

 

Reasonable Country-of-Origin Inquiry

 

We conducted a good faith, reasonable country-of-origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding the Conflict Minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of the Covered Products (the “necessary Conflict Minerals”). This RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals may have been from recycled or scrap sources.

 

We compiled a list of Tier 1 (i.e., direct) suppliers in the bill of materials for the Covered Products for which the manufacture was completed during the Reporting Period, and considered these 99 suppliers to fall within the scope of our RCOI. In this Report, we refer to these suppliers as “in-scope suppliers”.

 

 

1


We engaged a third-party service provider, Source Intelligence, to assist us with certain elements of our RCOI and due diligence efforts as described below. Following an introductory email from Outset outlining our Conflict Minerals program requirements and identifying Source Intelligence as a partner, in-scope suppliers were contacted by Source Intelligence and asked to complete and submit a Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (“CMRT”) developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”). The CMRT provided a standardized method for us to use in the collection of representations, statements and data from these suppliers related to the presence, use, source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals in supplier components that are incorporated in the Covered Products. Following multiple reminder emails from Source Intelligence, Outset directly contacted suppliers that were unresponsive to Source Intelligence’s communications and requested that they complete and submit a CMRT.

 

Source Intelligence maintained an online platform for submission, validation and management of supplier responses. Suppliers generally uploaded their completed CMRTs to the online platform or completed an online version of the CMRT. Of the 99 in-scope suppliers contacted, approximately 82% (81 suppliers) responded to Outset’s request by providing a completed CMRT.

 

Design of Due Diligence

 

We designed our due diligence measures to conform, in all material respects, to the internationally recognized due diligence framework in The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Third Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”), consistent with our position in the minerals supply chain as a downstream purchaser. The scope of our due diligence remained on Conflict Minerals - namely gold, tantalum, tin and tungsten, or 3TG.

 

Description of Due Diligence Measures

 

Our due diligence measures performed with respect to Covered Products for the Reporting Period included the following:

 

1.
OECD Step 1 - Establish Strong Company Management Systems

 

Conflict Minerals Policy. We adopted a Conflict Minerals policy that outlines our commitment to responsible sourcing and compliance with the rules relating to the use of Conflict Minerals necessary to manufacture our products. As set forth in our policy, we expect our suppliers to establish policies and systems designed to ensure proper tracing, monitoring and reporting of Conflict Minerals in their supply chains, to source Conflict Minerals from smelters or refiners that have been independently validated as conflict-free, and to provide related information to us upon our request. Our Conflict Minerals policy was communicated to in-scope suppliers during the Reporting Period, and is posted on our external website at: https://investors.outsetmedical.com/static-files/5a435725-69e9-45c1-a31e-0e989f952b5a.

 

Conflict Minerals Team. A cross-functional team comprised of individuals from our supply chain and legal functions is responsible for managing and implementing our Conflict Minerals program. The project team met regularly over the course of 2022 and into 2023, reporting to senior management, as needed, to provide updates regarding our Conflict Minerals program and due diligence results. We engaged Source Intelligence to assist with certain elements of our Conflict Minerals program, including engaging with suppliers, collecting, processing and storing supplier responses through its online platform, reviewing and validating supplier responses, helping to identify and resolve quality control flags, and identifying potential risks. The internal project team worked collaboratively with Source Intelligence in connection with its RCOI and due diligence efforts.

 

System of Controls and Transparency. In an effort to enhance its due diligence processes and improve the accuracy and completeness of supplier data, the internal project team met regularly to discuss, and worked with Source Intelligence to help document, internal operating procedures for scoping suppliers, conducting supplier outreach and follow-up, reviewing supplier responses, escalating issues related to non-responsive suppliers and data quality control, and addressing such issues. Source Intelligence maintained an online data collection platform for Outset which included the status of supplier outreach, records of supplier responses, validation of responses, information related to quality control efforts and risk classification information. The team regularly reviewed and monitored the online platform and collaborated with Source Intelligence throughout the diligence progress, including via periodic meetings. The team also set up and maintained an internal project database to track progress against project milestones.

 

 

2


Strengthen Engagement with Suppliers. As discussed above, we worked collaboratively with Source Intelligence to engage with in-scope suppliers. To strengthen supplier engagement and training and facilitate supplier responsiveness to our inquiry, we offered suppliers access to online learning and help centers maintained by Source Intelligence. Through the learning center, suppliers were given access to tools to facilitate a deeper understanding of the Conflict Minerals rules and why the information was being requested, including links to multi-lingual training materials and other resources that covered topics such as how to collect and validate smelter data, how to complete a CMRT and how to manage a Conflict Minerals program. Through the help center, suppliers had an opportunity to seek help-desk support from Source Intelligence’s team of supplier support specialists. Representatives of Source Intelligence also offered assistance to suppliers as needed in connection with the follow-up outreach. In addition, to enhance our monitoring of suppliers and better communicate our expectations for responsible business conduct in general, we have deployed a Supplier Code of Conduct to our suppliers which includes a certification regarding policies and systems for conflict-free sourcing and providing related information to us upon our request.

 

Grievance Mechanism. Our publicly available Conflict Minerals policy directs suppliers and other external parties to report any questions or concerns about the policy by contacting Outset at conflictminerals@outsetmedical.com.

 

2.
OECD Step 2 - Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain

 

To identify risk in our supply chain, we relied on our suppliers to provide information on the presence, use, source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in supplier products or components included in the Covered Products by requesting that in scope suppliers complete the CMRT. Source Intelligence assisted with reviewing suppliers’ completed CMRTs, evaluated supplier responses for plausibility, consistency and gaps in information, and followed up with suppliers in order to request clarification or additional information or otherwise address quality control flags.

 

Source Intelligence maintains a smelter and refiner database to document (i) which facilities are known metal processors (i.e., verified) based on lists published by the RMI as well as its own research and direct supplier outreach, (ii) which companies are exclusive recyclers, (iii) mine country of origin information and (iv) conflict-free certification status. To verify smelters and refiners listed by suppliers in completed CMRTs, Source Intelligence compared the identified facilities against its list of known metal processors. Supplier responses listing entities that are not verified smelters or refiners were flagged during the quality control process and suppliers were asked for further clarification.

 

To determine conflict-free certification status, Source Intelligence compared the verified smelters and refiners against lists of facilities that have been certified as conflict-free by independent third-party audit programs, specifically the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), developed by the RMI, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Good Delivery Program and the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) Chain-of-Custody Certification.

 

Through its platform, Source Intelligence assigned a risk classification to each submitted CMRT to indicate the level of risk associated with the data provided in such CMRT and provide us with certain risk indicators designed to inform our internal risk mitigation policies and procedures. These CMRT risk classifications are based on the smelter and refiner data provided in a given CMRT (including mine country of origin information, the associated country risk level, and conflict-free certification status), as well as any flags that are raised and remain unresolved through the quality control process, such as incomplete or inconsistent responses.

 

3.
OECD Step 3 - Design and Implement a Strategy to Respond to Risk

 

We determine on a case-by-case basis the appropriate risk mitigation strategy for supply chain risks identified in the course of our due diligence efforts, including where suppliers do not cooperate with our information requests or ultimately, notwithstanding encouragement from Outset, do not meet our expectations with respect to responsible conflict-free sourcing. Potential outcomes include providing access to additional education and training, cautioning the supplier, requiring additional information or corrective actions from the supplier to address our concerns, continuing to work with the supplier while risks are addressed and escalating issues to senior management as appropriate. For any supplier that is ultimately unable to source Outset’s materials from smelters or refiners that have been certified as conflict-free by an independent third-party audit program, we plan to assess the risks on a case-by-case basis and determine proper strategies, taking into consideration various factors including supplier size and capabilities, and whether products and technologies provided by the supplier can be dual-sourced, developed, or ultimately, replaced.

4.
OECD Step 4 - Independent Third-Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices

 

As a downstream purchaser, we do not have a direct relationship with the smelters and refiners in our supply chain, and we do not perform or direct audits of these entities. Instead, we rely on audits performed by independent third party audit programs, specifically the RMAP, LMBA Good Delivery Program and the RJC Chain-of-Custody Certification. These audit programs evaluate smelter and refiner activities and determine whether the smelter or refiner demonstrates that it has systems and controls in place to ensure that all materials it processes originate from conflict-free sources.

 

In addition, Source Intelligence attempts to directly contact smelters and refiners that are not currently certified as conflict-free to gain more information about their sourcing practices, including countries of origin and transfer, whether there are internal due diligence procedures in place or other processes the entity takes to track the chain-of-custody on the source of its mineral ores. Source Intelligence also performs internet research to determine whether there are any outside sources of information regarding the facility’s sourcing practices.

 

5.
OECD Step 5 - Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

 

We expect to report annually, to the extent required by the Rule, and have posted our Form SD containing this Report on our website at: https://investors.outsetmedical.com/financial-information/sec-filings.

 

Results of Due Diligence Performed

 

The due diligence measures described above revealed the following:

 

Of the 99 in-scope suppliers contacted for the Reporting Period, approximately 82% (81 suppliers) responded by providing completed CMRTs, and are considered “responsive.” The remaining 18% (18 suppliers) did not provide a completed CMRT even after our and Source Intelligence’s follow-up outreach efforts and are considered “non-responsive.”

 

Of the 81 suppliers that provided completed CMRTs, approximately 41 reported having no Conflict Minerals in their products and 40 reported having Conflict Minerals in their products.

 

Of the 342 verified smelters and refiners reported by our in-scope suppliers (as set forth on Appendix 1), approximately 71% have been certified as conflict-free by at least one independent third-party audit program, are actively moving through the certification process or have committed to undergo an audit.

 

While 50 of the 342 verified smelters and refiners are believed to source from at least one Covered Country based on information in Source Intelligence’s smelter database, 45 of these 50 entities have been certified as conflict-free by at least one independent third party audit program.

 

With respect to those responsive suppliers that listed in their CMRTs one or more smelters or refiners which, based on Source Intelligence’s smelter database, are believed to source from at least one Covered Country but have not been independently certified as conflict-free, a substantial majority provided a company-level CMRT, rather than a product-level response specific to the components supplied to Outset and incorporated in the Covered Products. In addition, Source Intelligence’s smelter database identifies all countries from which a particular metal processor is believed to source materials on an enterprise-wide basis. As a result, we believe our data may contain a number of “false positives” in relation to the risk that our necessary Conflict Minerals were sourced from a smelter or refiner that in turn sourced them from a Covered Country and is not certified-as conflict free.

 

Identified Smelters and Refiners

 

We have listed on Appendix 1 the verified smelters and refiners (by metal) identified by our in-scope suppliers in completed CMRTs as a result of our RCOI and due diligence, as well as, based on information from the Source Intelligence smelter database, the RMI identification, location and conflict-free certification status of each smelter and refiner.

 

Out of the 40 suppliers that reported having Conflict Minerals in their products, 32 provided company-level responses (i.e., information regarding all Conflict Minerals used in every component and product they manufacture ), 6 provided product-level responses (i.e., information for the particular types of products and components they supplied to Outset), and 2 provided responses at a different level defined by the supplier within the CMRT. As a result, some of the smelters and refiners reported to Outset and identified on Appendix 1 may not actually have been used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products.

 

 

4


Identified Countries of Origin

 

We do not have sufficient information to reliably determine the countries of origin of all the necessary Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products given that certain suppliers provided inconsistent or incomplete responses or provided information at the company-level. However, based on the smelters and refiners listed by in-scope suppliers in completed CMRTs, combined with associated mine country of origin information from Source Intelligence’s smelter database, the countries of origin may include the countries listed on Appendix 2. As discussed above, because the majority of responsive suppliers provided information at the company-level, and because Source Intelligence’s smelter database tracks mine country of origin information for metal processors on an enterprise-wide basis, we believe there are likely countries of origin in Appendix 2 that are not countries of origin of the necessary Conflict Minerals included in the Covered Products. As a result, we are unable to reliably determine whether any of the necessary Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products originated in the Covered Countries or whether such Conflict Minerals were entirely from recycled or scrap sources or were from other conflict-free sources.

 

Efforts to Determine Mine or Location of Origin

 

Our efforts to determine the mines or locations of origin included the use of the due diligence measures described above.

 

Future Due Diligence and Risk Mitigation Measures

 

As we further develop our Conflict Minerals program, we intend to take the following steps to further enhance our due diligence measures and to mitigate the risk that, with respect to any of the Covered Products, necessary Conflict Minerals were used, directly or indirectly, to finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

 

Encourage our suppliers to implement responsible sourcing by using Conflict Minerals only from smelters or refiners that have been independently certified as conflict-free, including by reiterating our expectations as outlined in our Conflict Minerals policy to in-scope suppliers;

 

Further develop, refine and implement our risk mitigation strategy for supply chain risks identified in the course of our due diligence; and

 

Continue to engage a third-party service provider to assist with engaging suppliers, collecting, processing and storing supplier responses through an online platform, reviewing and validating supplier responses, identifying and resolving quality control flags, identifying potential risks, and conducting follow-up outreach with non-responsive suppliers and suppliers identified as having quality control flags.

 

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures

 

Our supply chain with respect to the Covered Products is complex, and our procurement and manufacturing process is significantly removed from the sourcing, mining, smelting and refining of Conflict Minerals. As a result, we do not have direct contractual relationships with smelters, refiners or mines, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the ultimate manufacture of the Covered Products and the original sources of Conflict Minerals. Moreover, we believe that the smelters and refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to identify the sources of Conflict Minerals and, therefore, have taken steps to identify the applicable smelters and refiners of necessary Conflict Minerals in our supply chain using the CMRT. However, tracing these minerals to their sources is a challenge that requires us to rely on our direct suppliers in our efforts to achieve supply chain transparency, including obtaining information regarding the origin of the necessary Conflict Minerals. The information provided by suppliers or third-party service providers may be inaccurate or incomplete or subject to other irregularities. In addition, because of our relative location within the supply chain in relation to the actual extraction and transport of Conflict Minerals, our ability to verify the accuracy of information reported by suppliers is limited.

APPENDIX 1

 

Smelters and Refiners by Metal

 

Based on the information that was provided by our in-scope suppliers in completed CMRTs, we believe that, to the extent reasonably determinable by Outset, the facilities that may have been used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products included the verified smelters and refiners identified below. However, as noted above, where our suppliers provided information on a division- or company-wide basis regarding all Conflict Minerals used in every component and product they manufacture rather than responses specific to the types of products and components supplied to Outset for use in the Covered Products, the smelters and refiners reported to us by those suppliers may not actually have been used to process the necessary Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products. The below smelter information is based on data available in Source Intelligence’s smelter database as of April 2023. Any changes to the database that took place after April 2023 are not reflected.

 

* For purposes of the “Conflict Free Certification” status column in the table below:

YES” means at least one of the following is true (i) the smelter has an active RMAP certification or is in the process of renewing its certification, (ii) the smelter has obtained a Responsible Gold Certification from the LBMA and/or (iii) the smelter has obtained a Chain-of-Custody Certification from the RJC
ACTIVE” means the smelter or refiner is actively moving through the RMAP certification process
PROGRESSING” means Tungsten smelters that have committed to obtain a RMAP certification within two years of membership with the Tungsten Industry-Conflict Minerals Committee
NO” means the smelter or refiner is a verified metal processor based on Source Intelligence’s smelter database but has not been certified by at least one independent third-party audit program (RMAP, LBMA or RJC), is not actively moving through the RMAP certification process, and has not committed to obtain RMAP certification
