2nd Point: Sure, stuff do wear out, but a lot of the issues aren't due to worn out parts. And these are not 20-30 year old pumps. Of the current pumps, all were designed no earlier than 15 years ago and most pumps in the field were probably manufactured in the last 10 years.

3rd Point: Gemstar is used for ambulatory situations, where the patient is on his own. I don't think you can expect the patient to have the training and ability to gravity feed himself.

When you read the detail on the failure it is not as serious as you might think. First of all the FDA is giving warning letters and recalling products on every infusion device manufacturer of which there are about four or five. Second point is these devices stay out in the market place for 20-30 years because hospitals don't want to buy new devices. They would much rather return their old device and get it repaired. Third point is when a device shuts down you can gravity feed and count drops until you get to a pharmacy or hospital to replace the pump. This product is rarely used to infuse critically required drugs.
Bottom line electro/ mechanical devices do not last forever without some type of failure. If hospitals can't live with that buy a new device every five years . But we all know with Obama care and hospitals losing money that will never happen.

Baxters Sigma Spectrum is a much better pump Your garbage is just that garbage !
We kick your ass in device sales and in every other product
 






It is so much better that all your pumps are on shipping hold because the 510k hasn't been updated for years. Oh you didn't realize I knew Roger and how he sailed that ship??
Baxter hasn't kicked anyone's ass in medication management in a very long time. Have you forgotten about the colleague ?? They had to over pay for Sigma to stay in business!!
Before you open your mouth or let your fingers do the walking on your keyboard give a little more thought to what you are saying.
 






ask anybody with half a brain in pharma or Wall Street which company is stronger and its Baxter by a mile look at the numbers little man
check that time zone too !
RIP PAUL WALKER

Baxter International BAX -1.2% reports its third quarter earnings on Thursday, October 17, 2013, and the consensus earnings per share estimate is $1.19 per share.

The consensus estimate is up from three months ago when it was $1.17, but hasn’t changed over the past month. Analysts are expecting earnings of $4.67 per share for the fiscal year. Revenue is projected to be $3.81 billion for the quarter, 10% above the year-earlier total of $3.48 billion. For the year, revenue is projected to come in at $15.24 billion.

The company’s reported revenue has increased in the last three quarters. The 6% revenue increase brought the figure up to $3.67 billion in the most recent quarter. Looking back further, revenue increased 2% in the first quarter from the year earlier and 4% in the fourth quarter.

Over the last four quarters, income has increased 1% on average year-over-year. In the fourth quarter, the company saw its greatest gain in income, when it increased 7% from the year-earlier quarter.

The majority of analysts (62%) rate Baxter as a buy. This compares favorably to the analyst ratings of similar companies, like Hospira which average 33% buys

BAX 15.25 Billion Vs. HSP 4.6 Billion Sorry chump you are way off again

You are talking up this loser ->
The Medication Management segment performed disappointingly during the first quarter of 2013. Sales in the segment declined 10.7% (down 10.6% at constant currency) to $228.8 million. The segment has been going through a rough patch. In Feb 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded the import ban on certain Hospira products issued last year.
In Nov 2012, the FDA had issued a directive prohibiting Hospira from importing Symbiq medication infusion pumps, manufactured at its Costa Rica facility, into the US. The US regulatory body issued a fresh directive in Feb 2013, preventing Hospira from importing Plum, GemStar and LifeCare PCA infusion pumps, manufactured in Costa Rica, into the US. Sales in the Other Pharma division declined 12.4% (down 12.2% at constant currency) to $108.0 million.
Piss poor numbers ah ha
 






I think you missed the point. Comparing companies was not a part of the conversation. There is no defense for Hospira's performance. It has been a travesty for the last three years. What we were debating was the medication management portion of both companies. I didn't resort to cut and paste press releases or Wall Street analyst reports I wanted to see what you personally knew about the business itself. You clearly didn't know much about Sigma nor do you want to acknowledge the horrendous performance of the colleague pump.
I have no vested interest in either company however if I were investing I trust Bob Parkinson more than Mike Ball. That said neither of these companies medication management businesses is worth bragging about. Just ask the reps who work for both companies.

What reps ? 60% were cut in device end of it and another 15% coming in spring 2014 I know both these company's and would rather be with bax if I was working in pharma for peanuts
I will be in VIP area tomorrow at investors day in Chicago where will you be ?
Home bumming around I suppose ? You are just a tiny fish in a huge ocean and are clueless about pharma
BTW hsp and bax are NOT real pharma low end commodities and injectables and salt water soulitions tubing ect. that's nickel and dime kids stuff
 






I'll be the guy talking on cell if you watch webcast tomorrow
Then off to party at the Sound Bar on W.Ontario street till 3am
I want to know where my money is from HSP and dam sure will find out tomorrow
I saw some disturbing numbers and ready to pull my shit out of here if needed
Short Sale numbers down 62 %
 






BTW Sorry but I'm not really posting back for you little device guy
This is for other higher level investors and brass viewing this board
You know who I am up there in chi town and time to pay papa
 






I saw the most recent short sale/interest data sent from NASDAQ for the 10/31/2013 settlement date and I'm pissed ! There are a number of ways to look at short data, days to cover considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares typically traded. Do you understand this method ? it's a year to year ballpark figure in laymans terms (for you)
The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. 62% decrease WTF

Cafepharma calls itself the website for pharmaceutical and medical professions. Those associated with such professions choose to politely call it just plain evil. Cafepharma unfortunately is something that has become almost inseparable when you talk about the pharmaceutical or medical world. It's a word that nobody ever utters in public. It's as if it's some dark secret that was established by pharmaceutical monks, in a Da Vinci Code kind of way. However, Cafepharma's message boards prove otherwise. Their statistics show an astonishing 245,209 threads and 2, 588, 281 posts through October 3, 2011. For people who solemnly swear not to speak of this site in public there sure seems to be a high number of individuals who secretly post their thoughts and why not, it's all anonymous. Anything that is discussed is off limits and I mean anything. But the real question is who's reading it and could Cafepharma actually help the pharmaceutical industry?

For the most part Cafepharma is nothing short of so-called professional adults acting like children arguing over who called who what on the playground. Of course there are people who seem to be mad at the world and seem to thrive on creating nasty rumors or asking pointless questions. This is very apparent by the immature question of who the hottest rep is at their company. As sad as that question is, it's even sadder that so many people put their vote in and I'm assuming even some put their own name on that ridiculous list. But in the pharmaceutical message board section alone there are over two hundred companies listed, so you're bound to have some people sounding off and creating these pointless threads and some with such language attached to it that it would make Andrew Dice Clay blush. Then there are posts that take aim at one specific person in such a mean spirited way that it makes you cringe even if you don't that person. Now let me play devils advocate here, if you have one hundred posts about one individual is it something a company should look into? Maybe, but the problem is you have to scan through ten immature posts first before deciphering the one post that makes you say hmm, this may sound real. It's no secret that this is an industry that has laid off more employees then any other within the last five years, so unpleasant thoughts are most certainly going to come up. Most if not all will say this message board holds absolutely no merit even though someone's reading it religiously, so it must hold some truth, right? The hope is to think any educated individual can weed through the fictional and non-fictional rants, but with no name attached or any source to back up such facts the truth part becomes even trickier. The being anonymous part assures that these individuals feel safe in expressing their dissatisfaction about their own company. Is it fair to call these employees' cowards? Yes and no, but what if Cafepharma changed the way people post. Obviously requiring someone to provide their real name would change its entirety, but who's dumb enough to do that?

Should pharmaceutical companies be alarmed by this site? Of course! But there's that thin line between right and wrong and if you have employees posting threads that say for example a manager being unethical and that's followed by two hundred replies you would think that would raise an immediate red flag for some concern. Two hundred people just don't hate one individual just for the sake of it, do they? But here's a crazy idea, what if the people at Cafepharma actually monitored what was being said on their site? What if they actually created even something bigger for this industry? Get rid of the slander and profanity and require a log in of sorts that holds employees accountable on some level for what they write. The truth be told is that they have all the ability in the world to be something bigger, to be something better. They need to look outside the box and realize that they indeed are not the foe. They are just the soil that breeds frustration and hatred in an industry that right now is unstable. I can't give you all my secrets but to quote the movie Field of Dreams, Cafepharma if you build it, they will come.

Francine,
Every night you get sauced and morph into the cafe pharma bully. In real life you are in all likelihood a coward and would not say the things you do here from the safety of your computer. Your fooling no one and your alcohol fueled rants are completely boring and predictable.

There were others at this facility that conspired with this supervisor and did the same thing
I guess if the boss does it they thought nothing of doing it themselves it's just ignorance and stupidity on their part but calculated behavior by the supervisor
The big question what's the location of facility and names of guilty party's involved
The world is viewing this thread now

Hey Slick, did you do anything about it ? That incident if proved would cause loss of MAJOR defense contract with Gov't and is whistleblower material Military personnel in combat scenario don't have time to inspect IV bottles This is typical HSP and Grunt behavior and I heard this story before when HSP Global Security copied me on this I think this occurred in either Atlanta or NE Regional DC I can't remember which one But it was during Desert Storm Pre spin Abbott
If you people knew the damage caused by grunts and line workers to users of product You know
why I trash them on here The worst part of this story LIKE all others, is BRASS knew about it
and did NOTHING Why do you think there are SO MANY recalls of product I know this story is FACT because AmerisourceBergen questioned Abbott about a similar situation involving
$1million dollar shipment that arrived in refrigerated reefer, that had freon leak in transit
Abbott tried to blame Amerisource as they signed for shipment
