Danaher to Buy Masimo
Sabrina Valle and Gnaneshwar Rajan:
Danaher, a $150 billion U.S. company that makes tools used in developing and testing medicines, on Tuesday agreed to buy Masimo for $9.9 billion, expanding in patient-monitoring devices in a surprise move outside its main focus.
CNBC:
Masimo’s non-invasive pulse oximeters will complement Danaher’s invasive Radiometer blood analyzer devices.

Masimo recently transformed itself into a “pure-play” med-tech firm after selling its Sound United unit, which held audio brands Denon and Marantz, to Samsung’s Harman last year for $350 million.
I wonder if this will affect the legal fight with Apple over Apple Watch.
