Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the nine months ended are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 28, 2015, or any other interim period. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 include the correction of an overstatement of operating expenses in prior periods. Absent this correction, operating expenses would have been $1.7 million higher in the three and nine months ended December 27, 2014 than the amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. This overstatement was due to an error in the computation of the restructuring accrual for severance and employee benefits incurred in connection with the Company’s ongoing Value Creation and Capture initiatives and the cost of parts used to maintain our Haemonetics owned equipment. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2014.

We consider events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. We had no significant subsequent events.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal years 2015 and 2014 include 52 weeks with each quarter having 13 weeks.
