Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On September 29, 2010, Omnicell, Inc. completed the acquisition of Pandora Data Systems, a provider of analytical software for medication diversion detection and regulatory compliance, for $6 million in cash.  The two companies intend to combine their expertise in medication analytics to enhance diversion detection and clinical benchmarking that help with regulatory compliance.

 

The Pandora Data Systems solution will continue to operate as a stand-alone product, producing reports for Pyxis, McKesson, Cerner and other medication management systems, and providing regular updates and releases for its customer base.  Pandora will leverage the Omnicell development expertise to provide analytics solutions for drug diversion detection, compliance reporting, and long term data storage.  Its customers will also benefit from Omnicell’s infrastructure for expanded service and support.  Hospitals working with Omnicell and Pandora will enhance their ability to meet the regulatory requirements of both The Joint Commission and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

 

Omnicell expects that the acquisition of Pandora will result in an additional $2 million to $3 million of annual revenue for Omnicell and be accretive to earnings starting in 2011.
