Haemonetics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haemonetics is a blood/plasma supply company founded in Braintree, Massachusetts in the 1970s. It has offices worldwide. They started out producing the containers/bags needed for blood collection. From there they have branched off to making the whole plasma collection station including the machine, supplies and software for plasma collection. They recently acquired a smaller Canadian company called Fifth Dimension Information Systems in order to gain entry into the blood/plasma software industry.
Haemonetics products can be considered as belonging to two broad categories:
- donor products (marketed to the blood donation industry, these include products that automate the blood donation process, automate the processing of blood, support pathogen inactivation and bacterial detection of blood, and test blood hematocrit),
- and patient products (products are marketed to the surgical suite for blood loss management for patients. The products include surgical blood salvage (or "autotransfusion") devices, surgical field blood suction systems, and blood and patient warming systems).
Haemonetics is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker HAE. The company employs more than 1,400 people in offices located in 16 countries. It markets its products in over 50 countries and derives revenues almost equally from Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
