Clinical Products will mainly comprise the business with x-ray and ultrasound equipment that until now has been run jointly with the large-scale medical device business. The market segment for these products has a different dynamic than the market for large-scale medical devices. Besides innovative high-end-solutions, the development of cost efficient, less complex equipment that meets essential customer requirements will be pressed ahead. Siemens wants to further boost growth with these products, particularly in emerging economies. The Clinical Products unit will also comprise the components business. Norbert Gaus, who has been heading up the ultrasound business, will be CEO of Clinical Products.
Diagnostics will continue to comprise the laboratory diagnostics business. This includes equipment for analyzing blood and other bodily fluids as well as the necessary reagents. Siemens is one of the largest suppliers and is the market leader in many segments. Michael Reitermann, previously responsible for the healthcare business of Siemens in the United States, will follow Donal Quinn as CEO of the Diagnostics Division. Quinn is leaving the company for personal reasons.
