Medical Device Maker Delivers Wake-Up Call
MANUFACTURING: ResMed, Major Rival Team Up to Educate Clinicians About Sleep Disorders
In addition to announcing record revenues recently, ResMed is teaming up with a major competitor to educate the medical community in a $1 million campaign to help reach millions of undiagnosed Americans with sleeping disorders, especially sleep apnea.
Company officials said Sept. 30 that the campaign with Respironics, another device maker, and Cephalon, a drug company, is a wake-up call to action for a public health threat that the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services said results in an estimated $16 billion annually in medical costs, not including costs associated with lost work time.

SYDNEY (Dow Jones)--Sleep disorder device company ResMed Inc. (RMD.AU) has agreed to revise its internal fair-trading checks following an investigation of price-fixing by Australia's competition regulator.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said Tuesday it had investigated the company over whether it was telling accredited retailers that it would stop supplying its products if they sold them at less than a price specified by ResMed, a practice known as retail price maintenance.
"The ACCC is concerned that between March and June 2009 ResMed is likely to have engaged in retail price maintenance," the ACCC said in a statement.
ResMed has accepted a court-enforceable undertaking to write to its accredited retailers telling them they are free to set their own prices, and to amend its compliance program for Australian trade practices law, the ACCC said.
ResMed did not immediately respond to a call for comment.

As advised in the Company's 6 August announcement:
Stockholders of record on the New York Stock Exchange at the close of trading on
August 17, 2010 will receive one additional share of common stock for each share
held on that date. The common stock will be distributed to shareholders on or
about August 30, 2010, by ResMed's NYSE transfer agent, American Stock Transfer
and Trust Company, LLC. The common stock is expected to begin trading on a
post-split basis on the NYSE beginning on August 31, 2010, or one day following
the distribution date.
Holders of CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) on the Australian Stock Exchange
will also receive a bonus issue of one additional CDI for every CDI held on the
ASX record date of August 18, 2010. Unlike the shares on the NYSE, the existing
CDIs will be quoted on an "ex-bonus" basis on August 12, 2010 on the ASX (ASX:

RMDBN). The bonus CDIs will be distributed by ResMed's ASX share registry,

begin on the following day.
Due to the difference in market practice between the NYSE and ASX, ResMed
applied for and has been granted a waiver of rules 13.9.4 and 13.9.9 of the ASX
Settlement Operating Rules, allowing it to defer the processing of conversions
(transmutations) between its Common Stock and CDI registers that are lodged in
the period from and including 12 August 2010 up to and including 31 August 2010.
Therefore, no conversions (transmutations) will be processed during this time.
