Device companies deal with ACA

QMED details how one medical device company is dealing with the 2.3% tax on medical devices imposed as part of Obamacare:

To cover reduced margins, merit Medical no longer provides 401(k) matching for its employees. In addition, the company stopped donating to charities it previously supported, such as Junior Jazz and The Leonardo. That said, the company has not had to lay off any of its employees yet. In total, the company employs 1,700 people. “You take that kind of money out of a company and something has to give and it's basically research and development or marketing, and those are jobs,” notes Fred Lampropoulos, CEO of Merit Medical.

We've created a corporate gifting rewards platform that makes it much more efficient to track and record gifts. It's a real solution for medical device manufacturers committed to reporting compliance under the Sunshine Act and ACA. Here's a link to our blog post, we'd love to guest blog here, too, and tell you more about Tango Card.

This will be very interesting to see how this all plays out long term. It hasn't slowed our clients on device development but it's still early in the game. Cliff - http://leardon.com

All endoscopic processes involve some degree of sedation that relaxes you and subdues your gag reflex. First of all, although the depth of sedation, while these procedures are similar, is to general anesthesia, the airway is largely unprotected. Used as a sedative, propofol, the most famous agent is used for these processes has a narrow therapeutic window-transmitting from mild sedation to deep general anesthesia rapidly.
