SEGMENT INFORMATION

12 . SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Definition Criteria

We manage our business on the basis of one operating segment: the design, manufacture, and marketing of blood management solutions. Our chief operating decision-maker uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions. Manufacturing processes, as well as the regulatory environment in which we operate, are largely the same for all product lines.

Enterprise Wide Disclosures about Product and Services

We have four global product families: plasma, blood center, hospital, and software solutions.

Disposables (single-use sterile kits used in our devices for collection or salvage of blood products) are marketed in our plasma, blood center, and hospital product businesses. Plasma disposables are used with our PCS^®2 devices to perform apheresis for the collection of plasma to be used as a raw material for biologically derived pharmaceuticals (also known as source plasma). Blood center disposables are used with our MCS+ device to collect one or more blood components (principally platelets but also red cells and plasma) for transfusion to patients. The Hospital business consists of disposables used with our Cell Saver^® and cardioPAT^® devices to recover red cells from blood lost in a surgical procedure so that these may be made available for reinfusion to the patient (“autotransfusion”). OrthoPAT^® disposables are used for autotransfusion during and immediately following orthopedic surgeries. Diagnostics products principally reflect sales of diagnostic reagents and the TEG^® Thrombelastograph^® hemostasis analyzer which profiles a patient’s blood clotting characteristics.

Software solutions include information technology platforms that assist blood centers, plasma centers, and hospitals to more effectively manage regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
