Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 10, 2009, CareFusion Corporation (“CareFusion”), the entity that is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal Health, Inc. (the “Company”) and that is expected to become public as a result of the planned spin-off of the Company’s clinical and medical products businesses, issued a press release announcing that it will resume shipping Alaris^® PC units and Alaris^® PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) modules. A copy of the news release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously reported, on April 24, 2009, the Company submitted the corrective action plan required by the Amended Consent Decree for Condemnation and Permanent Injunction between a subsidiary of the Company and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Included in the corrective action plan was, among other proposed corrective actions, a software correction that addresses the potential risk recently identified with the Alaris PCA module when used with the Alaris PC Unit operating with software versions 8 through 9.1. When the products are used together, the Alaris PCA module may infuse above or below the intended infusion dose if a specific sequence of events occurs. The Company had placed a hold on shipping the Alaris PCA module and related Alaris PC Unit until the software was corrected. On July 9, 2009, the Company received FDA 510(k) clearance for the software correction, which allows the Company to resume shipping the Alaris PC unit and Alaris PCA module. See the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 filed on May 7, 2009 and Amendment No. 5 to CareFusion’s Form 10 registration statement filed on July 8, 2009 for additional information on this matter.

CAREFUSION TO RESUME SHIPPING ALARIS^® INFUSION PRODUCTS

SAN DIEGO, July 10, 2009 — CareFusion Corporation, the company that will become public from the planned spinoff of Cardinal Health’s clinical and medical products businesses, today announced it will immediately resume customer implementations of its Alaris^® PC units and PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia) modules following a shipping hold announced in March.

The company is ready to resume shipments following 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a software correction that will be implemented on new Alaris PC units.

“The 510(k) clearance for our software correction is another important milestone in our continued progress under the amended consent decree,” said Dwight Winstead, chief operating officer of CareFusion. “We will continue to work closely with the FDA to fulfill all of our obligations under the amended consent decree and execute within our new quality system to manufacture products that are among the safest in the industry.”

The 510(k) clearance follows FDA acceptance of the company’s corrective action plan for field remediation of its infusion pumps that was announced on June 9. For Alaris PC units already with customers, CareFusion will begin implementing the software correction as part of this corrective action plan.
