Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent EventsIn December 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell STERIS's Renal Care business to Evoqua Water Technologies Corp., for cash consideration of approximately $196,000, subject to certain potential adjustments, including a customary working capital adjustment and contingent consideration of $12,300. We anticipate no material gain (loss) on the sale. The net assets are not reported as held for sale as they are not material to the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The transaction closed on January 3, 2022. We acquired the Renal Care business as part of the Cantel transaction, which closed on June 2, 2021, and had been integrated into STERIS's Healthcare segment. The Renal Care business generated annual revenues of approximately $180,000. The proceeds from the sale received at closing
