"With our award-winning Service options, Clinician Education and comprehensive product offerings, we are pleased to start out our next 50 years with a fresh new approach to staying connected to our clinical partners."

Spacelabs Healthcare, a subsidiary of OSI Systems, makes medical equipment and services including solutions for patient monitoring and connectivity, anesthesia delivery and ventilation, diagnostic cardiology and supplies and accessories selling to hospitals, clinics and physician offices.
