History of USSC

Was there ever a page for USSC itself? It would be nice to know the history of USSC.

please do not merge, Nellcor deserves its own page

Please do not merge with Covidien. Nellcor was a start-up and turned market leader before being sold to Mallinckrodt, which was acquired by Tyco, which spun out Covidien (see here). Nellcor remains a recognized brand exclusively for pulse oximetry. Covidien does many things, so specific information on pulse oximetry is lost. According to Masimo's 10-K filing for 2010, Covidien's pulse oximetry branch, i.e. Nellcor, and Masimo together have a 90% market share for pulse oximetry. --EphemeralKnowledge (talk) 06:33, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mallinckrodt will be separating from Covidien in 2013. Please do not merge the pages.Aussiejb (talk) 20:46, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having worked for PB for years, it's necessary to have the history, so please keep this.

There's been no action on this for over 2 years, so I've de-tagged the page. LT90001 (talk) 01:44, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Covidien Page

This is another example of a poorly sourced page, but its content is not in the form of an advertisement (more like a list). Removed advert tag.FactCheckerOne (talk) 21:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Its poorly sourced and outdated or incorrect in places. if one were to look at http://covidien.prohost.mobi/cares can see that they work with NPOs in 20 countries (not 30) and in cumulative have given 500 grants, (not 350 per year). It may be Medtronic that is responsible for this greater philanthropy work, but should not be attributed to Covidien, I think, unless a better source can be found (or rewritten) 75.133.170.174 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:53, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
