  Baxter avait racheté Althin et sa ligne de générateurs, 
  en plein été 2005, Baxter laisse tomber les générateurs d'hémodialyse... pour se consacrer à la dialyse à domicile ! (sic)

  Gambro va t'il abandonner la dialyse péritonéale ??

  Baxter to Focus Internal Product Development Resources on Renal Home Therapy
   
  DEERFIELD, Ill., July 21, 2005 - Baxter Healthcare Corporation announced today it has entered into an agreement with Gambro Renal Products to distribute and promote Gambro's hemodialysis (HD) instruments worldwide. The company has concluded separately that it would discontinue the manufacture of HD instruments, however, current customers will continue to receive full support for the Baxter instruments in use in the field today. These decisions allow Baxter to continue to provide a complete and competitive in-center HD product offering, while further advancing its home therapy business, including peritoneal dialysis (PD), worldwide.
   
  The agreement with Gambro is consistent with the company's strategy to optimize and improve the performance of its HD business while maintaining a broad portfolio of HD products for renal patients around the world. Baxter will now distribute Gambro's HD instruments and directly related ancillary products through the new distribution and promotion agreement. The company will continue to distribute its existing line of HD dialyzers, and provide HD solutions and concentrates that are manufactured by Baxter. This new approach enables Baxter to continue to focus internal product development resources on home therapies, drawing on its strengths in PD. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
   
  "After considering our strategic alternatives, we are pleased to announce a distribution and promotion agreement with Gambro, a global leader in HD instrumentation," said Bruce McGillivray, corporate vice president and president of Baxter's Renal business. "This agreement will allow us to further build on our strong home therapy expertise, leveraging our global leadership position in PD, while we continue meeting the in-center needs of our customers."
   
  Baxter will have exclusive distribution rights for Gambro HD instruments throughout most of Latin America, and a non-exclusive distribution and promotion arrangement in the United States and the rest of the world, excluding Japan where Baxter does not participate in the HD market. In non-exclusive countries, Baxter and Gambro will each sell HD instruments and directly related ancillary products through their respective sales channels. Baxter will continue to provide customer service and spare parts support for its existing HD instrument base.
   
  "We remain extremely committed to our customers and to the renal community," McGillivray added. "We will ensure that our current HD customers continue to receive support for the HD instruments that they have purchased from Baxter, while we make a seamless transition to Gambro's instruments."
   
  In connection with this agreement and the company's decision to discontinue hemodialysis instrument manufacturing, the company expects to record a charge in future quarters totaling $40 to $50 million.
