This Amendment No. 17 to Schedule 13G (this
“Amendment No. 17”) is being filed with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”)
of Quidel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), to amend the Schedule 13G filed on April 23, 2001,
as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on February 14, 2002, by Amendment No. 2, filed on February 12, 2003, by Amendment

(as so amended, the “Schedule 13G”), in accordance with the annual amendment requirements. This Amendment No.
17 is being filed on behalf of Oracle Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Oracle Partners”), Oracle
Ten Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Oracle Ten Fund”), Oracle Institutional Partners, LP, a Delaware
limited partnership (“Institutional Partners” and, collectively with Oracle Partners and Oracle Ten Fund, the
“Oracle Partnerships”), Oracle Investment Management, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan, an employee benefit
