Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
Product Launch

  • The Connex 360 next‐generation patient monitor, featuring enhanced cybersecurity, launched in Q4 2025 and is expected to contribute to 2026 growth.

  • Capital equipment orders rose 30% year-to-date, driven by strong CCS and HST performance, with improved order-to-revenue visibility supporting a stable frontline care outlook
