Nonin Medical Inc. recently acquired MedAir AB, a Swedish medical-technology company.

MedAir specializes in developing and manufacturing optical equipment for medical-gas analysis, and the purchase will enable Nonin to broaden its products and services to include carbon dioxide monitoring. The company reports that MedAir’s management and employees won’t be affected by the acquisition and that it plans to expand MedAir.

“Nonin brings an established worldwide distribution network, as well as strong ties to the OEM channel, that will be essential to MedAir’s future expansion,” says Sigvard Weisbjerg, MedAir AB managing director. “The two companies share a commitment to innovative products that offer flexibility, comfort and effectiveness for quality patient care in a range of medical settings.”

Nonin Medical, based in Minneapolis, is a manufacturer and distributor of physiological-monitoring devices. For more information, visit www.nonin.com/documents/press/MEDAIR.pdf.
