     1.   Purpose of the Plan.  The purpose of this Diametrics Medical, Inc.
1993 Directors' Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain the best available
individuals for service as Directors of the Company and provide additional
incentive to the Outside Directors of the Company to serve as Directors.

     None of the options granted hereunder shall be "incentive stock options"
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (as hereinafter defined).

     2.   Definitions.  As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:

          (a) "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (b) "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

interruption or termination of service as a Director.

          (f) "Director" shall mean a member of the Board.

          (g) "Employee" shall mean any person, including officers and
Directors, employed by the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

itself to constitute "employment" by the Company.

          (h) "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

          (i) "Option" shall mean a stock option granted pursuant to the Plan.

the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be optioned and sold
under the Plan is 467,500 Shares of Common Stock.  The Shares may be authorized,
but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

     If an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason without
having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto
shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become available for future
grant under the Plan.  If Shares which were acquired upon exercise of an Option
are subsequently repurchased by the Company, such Shares shall not in any event
be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future grant under
the Plan.

     4.   Administration of and Grants of Options under the Plan.

          (a) Administrator.  Except as otherwise required herein, the Plan
shall be administered by the Board.

          (b) Procedure for Grants.  The provisions set forth in this Section
4(b) shall not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comport
with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, or the rules thereunder.  All grants of Options hereunder shall be
made in accordance with the following provisions:

              (i)  The Board shall have discretion to grant options to Outside
     Directors in addition to the Options described in Sections 4(b)(ii), (iii)
     and (iv) and to determine the number of Shares to be covered by such
     Options.

              (ii) Effective August 14, 1997, each Outside Director shall be
     automatically granted an Option (an "Initial Grant") to purchase 18,000
     Shares on the date on which such person first becomes a Director, whether
     through election by the shareholders of the Company or appointment by the
     Board of Directors to fill a vacancy.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

     Options granted under this section 4(b)(ii) shall become vested and thereby
     exercisable with respect to 50% of such Initial Grant on the twelve month
     anniversary date of such Initial Grant and with respect to 25% at each
     successive anniversary date; provided, however, an unvested portion of an
     Initial Grant shall only vest so long as the Outside Director remains a
     Director on the date such portion vests.

           (iii)    Effective August 14, 1997, each Outside Director shall
     automatically receive, on the date of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
     an Option to purchase 8,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock, such
     Option to become exercisable six months subsequent to the date of grant;
     provided however, that such Option shall only be granted to Outside
     Directors who have served since the date of the last Annual Meeting of
     Shareholders and will continue to serve after the date of grant of such
     Option.

           (iv)     Each Outside Director may elect, not later than the last day
     of the Company's fiscal year, to be granted Options in lieu of the
     compensation and fees otherwise payable to such Outside Director for the
     next fiscal year. Such Options shall be granted quarterly on the last day
     of each fiscal quarter in which such compensation and fees are earned, to
     be exercisable immediately. The number of Shares covered by each such
     Option shall be the number determined by dividing the total amount of
     compensation and fees payable at the end of such quarter by the Option
     Value of one such Share on the date of grant.

           (v)      The terms of an Option granted hereunder shall be as
          follows:

                    (A)  the term of the Option shall be ten (10) years.

                    (B)  the Option shall be exercisable only while the Outside
          Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
          Section 8 hereof.

                    (C)  the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the fair
          value per Share on the date of grant of the Option.

                    (D)  to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable
          provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act ("Rule
          16b-3"), no Option will be exercisable until a date more than six
          months subsequent to the date of the grant of that Option.

          (c) Powers of the Board.  Subject to the provisions and restrictions
of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority, in its discretion: (i) to
determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section
7(b) of the Plan, the fair market value of the Common Stock; (ii) to determine
the exercise price per share of Options to be granted, which exercise price
shall be determined in accordance with Section 7(a) of the Plan; (iii) to
interpret the Plan; (iv) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan; (v) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effectuate

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

the grant of an Option previously granted hereunder; and (vi) to make all other
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

          (d) Effect of Board's Decision.  All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any
other holders of any Options granted under the Plan.

     5.   Eligibility.  Options may be granted only to Outside Directors.  All
Options shall be automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in
Section 4(b) hereof.

     The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a Director, nor
shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company
may have to terminate his directorship at any time.

     6.   Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier of (i)
its adoption by the Board or (ii) its approval by the shareholders of the
Company as described in Section 16 of the Plan.  It shall continue in effect for
a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 12 of the Plan.

     7.   Exercise Price and Consideration.

          (a) Exercise Price.  The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be
issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be 100% of the fair market value
per Share on the date of grant of the Option.

          (b) Fair Market Value.  The fair market value ("Fair Market Value") of
a Share shall be determined by the Board in its discretion; provided however,
that where there is a public market for the Common Stock, the fair market value
per Share shall be the closing price of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market on the date of grant, as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not
so reported, as otherwise reported by the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") System) or, in the event the Common Stock
is traded on the NASDAQ National Market System or listed on a stock exchange,
the fair market value per Share shall be the closing price on such system or
exchange on the date of grant of the Option, as reported in The Wall Street
Journal.

          (c) Form of Consideration.  Subject to compliance with applicable
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, (or other applicable law), the
consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option,
including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Board and may
consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) other Shares which (X) in the
case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the
Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (Y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (iv) authorization for
the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which
the Option is exercised, (v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
together with irrevocable

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale
or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (vi) by delivering an
irrevocable subscription agreement for the Shares which irrevocably obligates
the option holder to take and pay for the Shares not more than twelve months
after the date of delivery of the subscription agreement, (vii) any combination
of the foregoing methods of payment or (viii) such other consideration and
method of payment for the issuance of Shares as may be permitted under
applicable laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to
accept, the Board shall consider whether acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

     8.   Exercise of Option.

          (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.  Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times as are set forth in Section
4(b) hereof; provided however, that no Options shall be exercisable until
shareholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 16 hereof has been
obtained.

     An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

     An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
allowable under Section 7(c) of the Plan.  Until the issuance (as evidenced by
the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares,
no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall
exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the
Option.  A share certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be
issued to the Optionee as soon as practicable after exercise of the Option.  No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 10 of the Plan.

     Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

          (b) Termination of Status as a Director.  If an Outside Director
ceases to serve as a Director, he may, but only within seven (7) months after
the date he ceases to be a Director of the Company, exercise his Option to the
extent that he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To
the extent that he was not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of such
termination, or if he does not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to
exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (c) Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
8(b) above, in the event an Optionee is unable to continue his service as a
Director with the Company as a result of his total and permanent disability (as
defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) he

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

may, but only within seven (7) months from the date of termination, exercise his
Option to the extent he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination. To the extent that he was not entitled to exercise the Option at
the date of termination, or if he does not exercise such Option (which he was
entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate.

       (d)  Death of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
4(b), in the event of the death of an Optionee:

            (i)  during the term of the Option who is at the time of his death a
     Director of the Company and who has been in Continuous Status as a Director
     since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at any
     time within seven (7) months following the date of death, by the Optionee's
     estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
     bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise
     that would have accrued had the Optionee continued living and remained in
     Continuous Status as a Director for six (6) months after the date of death;
     or

            (ii) within thirty (30) days after the termination of Continuous
     Status as a Director, the Option may be exercised, at any time within seven
     (7) months following the date of death, by the Optionee's estate or by a
     person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
     inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had
     accrued at the date of termination.

     9.   Non-Transferability of Options.  The Option may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than (i)
by will, (ii) by the laws of descent or distribution, (iii) to members of the
Optionee's immediate family or (iv) to one or more trusts for the benefit of the
Optionee or members of his or her immediate family, and the Option may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee or a
permitted transferee.

     10.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution or Merger.

          (a) In the event that the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
of the Company is changed by a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split,
combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company without consideration, the number of Shares available under this Plan
and the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options and the exercise price
per share of such Options shall be proportionately adjusted, subject to any
required action by the Board or shareholders of the Company and compliance with
applicable securities laws; provided however, that no certificate or scrip
representing fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of any Option and
any resulting fractions of a Share shall be ignored.  Such adjustment shall be
made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and conclusive.

          (b) In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a
merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, a transaction or
series of related transactions in which 100% of the then outstanding voting
stock is sold or otherwise transferred,

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, any or all
outstanding Options shall, notwithstanding any contrary terms of the written
agreement governing such Option, accelerate and become exercisable in full at
least ten days prior to (and shall expire on) the consummation of such
dissolution, liquidation, merger or sale of stock or sale of assets on such
conditions as the Board shall determine unless the successor corporation assumes
the outstanding Options or substitutes substantially equivalent options.

     11.  Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date determined in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Outside Director to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

     12.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

          (a)  Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration,
suspension, or discontinuance shall be made which would impair the rights of any
Optionee under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent.  In
addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act (or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company shall
obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a
degree as required.

          (b)  Effect of Amendment or Termination.  Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and
the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

     13.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, state securities laws, and the requirements of any stock exchange
upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

     As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the
person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such Shares, if, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

     Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve
the Company of any liability in respect

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

     14.  Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of the Shares available
for issuance pursuant to this Plan as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

     15.  Option Agreement.  Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.

     16.  Shareholder Approval.

          (a) The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the
Company within twelve (12) months of its adoption by the Board.  If such
shareholder approval is obtained at a duly held shareholders' meeting, it may be
obtained by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote thereon.  If
such shareholder approval is obtained by written consent, it may be obtained by
the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Company.

          (b) Any required approval of the shareholders of the Company shall be
substantially in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     17.  Information to Optionees.  The Company shall provide to each Optionee,
during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options outstanding,
copies of all annual reports to shareholders, proxy statements and other
information provided to all shareholders of the Company.

                                      -8-
