Extension for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare says it has renewed an exclusive US distribution agreement with global medical technology company CareFusion for a further three years.

Fisher & Paykel's president of US operations, Justin Callahan, said his company's continued partnership with CareFusion would help it to continue to grow in the US.

A CareFusion segment president, Vivek Jain, said his company and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare had been partners in bringing the latter's portfolio of respiratory consumable products to US hospitals for more than 25 years.

In the year ended March 2011, North American sales accounted for 46 per cent of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare's total sales.
