Lifescan Medical Device Company Intelligence Report
Headquartered in Milpitas, California, US, Johnson & Johnson’s LifeScan subsidiary is a leader in hand-held, electronic blood glucose monitoring systems and test strips for people with diabetes to use in the home or for bedside monitoring in hospitals. The company has manufacturing facilities in the US, Puerto Rico and the UK, and employs more than 2,500 people.
LifeScan pioneered blood glucose monitoring with the introduction of OneTouch technology, which eliminated wiping and timing procedures. The OneTouch product line now includes blood glucose meters, test strips, lancing devices and diabetes management software.
LifeScan forms part of Johnson & Johnson’s Diabetes Care franchise, which was expanded in February 2006 through the acquisition of Animas, an insulin delivery company. Following the transaction, Animas operates as a stand-alone entity reporting through LifeScan. Animas has its headquarters, R&D and manufacturing operations in West Chester, Pennsylvania, US. The Animas acquisition gave LifeScan immediate entry into the fast-growing insulin delivery pump market. The combination of Animas' insulin delivery systems and LifeScan's glucose monitoring systems allow the company to offer more comprehensive disease management solutions for patients. Indeed, the launch of OneTouch Ping Glucose Management System in August 2008 marked the first integrated product from the two companies. Glucose Ping is claimed to be the first full-feature insulin pump that wirelessly communicates with a blood glucose meter-remote.
In 2010, the Diabetes Care franchise reported sales of US$2.47 billion.
