Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, most of which are routine litigation, in the normal course of business. Our management does not believe that the resolution of the unsettled legal proceedings that we are involved with will have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    In the normal course of business, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law and to indemnify customers as to certain intellectual property matters or other matters related to sales of our products. There is no maximum limit on the indemnification that may be required under these agreements. 

Although we can provide no assurances, we have never incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any material liability for indemnification.

Contingencies

On January 6, 2022, we acquired Smiths Medical. Total consideration for the acquisition includes a potential earn-out payment of $100.0 million in cash contingent on our common stock achieving a certain volume-weighted average price from

the closing date to either the third or fourth anniversary of closing. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out is $26.1 million (see Note 9: Fair Value Measurements).

Prior to being acquired, during 2021, Smiths Medical received a Warning Letter from the FDA following an inspection of Smiths Medical’s Oakdale, Minnesota Facility. The Warning Letter cited, among other things, failures to comply with FDA's medical device reporting requirements and failures to comply with applicable portions of the Quality System Regulation. A provision for the estimated costs related to the field service corrective action was recorded on the opening acquired balance sheet of Smiths Medical in the amount of $55.1 million. The initial estimate recorded was based on a probability-weighted estimate of the costs required to settle the obligation. The actual costs to be incurred are dependent upon the scope of the work necessary to achieve regulatory clearance and could differ from the original estimate. The estimated field service corrective action recorded at June 30, 2022 is $53.9 million.

During November 2021, we acquired a small foreign infusion systems supplier. Total consideration for the acquisition includes a potential earn-out payment of up to $2.5 million, consisting of (i) a cash payment of $1.0 million contingent on the achievement of certain revenue targets for the annual period ending December 31, 2022 and, separately, (ii) a cash payment of $1.5 million contingent on certain product-related regulatory certifications obtained by May 26, 2024. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out is $1.7 million (see Note 9: Fair Value Measurements).

During August 2021, we entered into an agreement with one of our international distributors whereby that distributor would not compete with us in a specific territory for a three-year period that will end in September 2024. The terms of the agreement include a contingent earn-out payment. The contingent earn-out shall not exceed $6.0 million, which will be earned based on certain revenue targets over a twelve-month measurement period determined by the highest four consecutive quarters commencing over a two-year period starting on the closing date of the agreement and provided that the distributor is in compliance with its obligations under the agreement. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out is $2.6 million (see Note 9: Fair Value Measurements).
