Cardinal Health launches new medical device for the continuous monitoring of three essential vital signs in one system
Kendall DL™ Multi System simplifies patient monitoring, drives efficiencies for providers
DUBLIN, Ohio, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH) announced today the U.S. launch of its multi-parameter, single-patient use monitoring cable and lead wire system that enables the continuous monitoring of cardiac activity, blood oxygen level and temperature with one point of connection. The new Kendall DL™ Multi System is designed to travel with the patient from admission to discharge for smooth transport. It helps improve clinician workflows, provides reliable monitoring to help determine the best course of care, and maximizes value across the hospital.
'This innovative addition to the Kendall DL portfolio removes complexity for busy care teams, and at the same time, helps enhance clinical performance with multi-parameter monitoring,' said Rachel Schott, global vice president for specialty products at Cardinal Health. 'The product streamlines steps that clinicians must follow to provide effective care and controls common lead wire clutter with its built-in cable management system.'
The Kendall DL™ Multi System offers a proprietary design that features clinically proven technology to reduce the incidence of false 'leads off' alarms2 (i.e., indications that wires connected to the patient's body are not properly connected), as well as motion-related artifacts in electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings,† which are recorded disturbances due to a patient's movement. This yields cleaner ECG tracings and allows clinicians to more effectively prioritize the care they need to administer.
As a single-patient use product, the system helps reduce cross contamination related to reusable lead wires for the monitoring of cardiac activity, blood oxygen level and temperature.1 This helps lower the chance of infection and the need for additional hospital days or readmissions.3 The system is eligible for medical device reprocessing through Cardinal Health.
'By enabling more efficient workflows and driving clinical excellence, this new solution can potentially support the financial performance of healthcare providers,' Schott said. 'Expanding our Kendall DL offerings demonstrates our commitment to providing products designed to address multiple clinical and operational challenges across healthcare organizations, and builds upon our legacy of safe, high-quality patient monitoring solutions providers have come to trust.'
The Kendall DL™ Multi System is now available for health systems in the U.S. For more information, please visit us here.

A worker at a biopharmaceutical facility packaging an active pharmaceutical ingredient. HSBC's updated estimates for FY2026 to FY2028 take into account the shifting market tide for semaglutide and gRevlimid. The analysts are waiting for semaglutide to be introduced in Canada, Brazil, and India at the beginning of FY2027, which is a greater leap from their prior hypothesis of a launch only in Canada by Q4 of FY2026. The analysts revised their FY2026 sales figures for Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (NYSE:RDY)'s gRevlimid, noting the growing competition. The adjustment includes a 5.1% decrease in the EPS estimate for FY2026, while the EPS forecast for FY2027 and FY2028 grew by 12% to 13%. According to HSBC analysts, the expected surge in semaglutide sales will strengthen Dr. Reddy's earnings. HSBC assigned a new price target for RDY's American Depositary Receipts (ADR) as well, raising it from $14.44 to $16.90. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (NYSE:RDY) is a global pharma company based in Hyderabad, India, that makes both branded and generic medicines for a wide range of health conditions. The company operates through Global Generics, Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI), and Others segments. While we acknowledge the potential of RDY as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Nucleus Genomics Launches Nucleus Embryo, Genetic Optimization Software Alongside Partnership with Genomic Prediction
Parents pursuing IVF now have a new level of choice to empower their family planning NEW YORK, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With U.S. birthrates plummeting and IVF on the rise, Nucleus Genomics today launched Nucleus Embryo, the first genetic optimization software that lets parents see and understand a complete genetic profile to select an embryo. "Before there's a heartbeat, there's DNA," said Kian Sadeghi, founder and CEO of Nucleus. "One file containing DNA and genetic markers can tell you more about your baby's future than any other test a doctor could possibly run at this stage. Most clinics stop at whether an embryo will develop. For many parents, that's not enough. Patients have long asked for more transparency from clinics, and Nucleus Embryo is an important step toward complete data ownership for parents planning their families." The software enables parents to analyze and compare up to 20 embryos across over 900 hereditary conditions and 40 additional analyses beyond basic viability, spanning cancers, chronic conditions, appearance, cognitive ability, mental health, and more. To widen access to the software, Nucleus will partner with Genomic Prediction, the first company to offer genome-wide screening on embryos. The partnership sets a new standard in genetic medicine, continuing Genomic Prediction's decade-long history of giving hopeful parents the best possible chance of implanting healthy embryos. The company's analyses focus on hereditary conditions, acting as the first line of defense against chronic and rare diseases. "As an organization, we are committed to supporting patients' rights to their DNA and any information that can aid in their family-building journey," said Kelly Ketterson, CEO of Genomic Prediction. "We have a legacy of innovation aimed at providing patients with access to the best scientific resources. Our partnership with Nucleus opens access to information our patients have requested and allows us to uphold our commitment to this legacy." Nucleus' partnership with Genomic Prediction reflects a growing shift in how parents think about genetics as a tool to give children the best possible start in life. A wide-ranging study of Americans found the majority accepted the use of genetic technology to choose embryos based on health and personality traits. Four in 10 parents would use genetic optimization as another tool to understand their future child's cognitive abilities. Most women undergo three to six IVF cycles before successfully having a baby, with each cycle costing up to $25,000. Many embryos are unviable within days of being fertilized, leaving parents with few to choose from. Facing high stakes, clinicians often recommend genetic testing to optimize a couple's chances of a healthy pregnancy. But these tests typically stop at a select number of hereditary conditions and chromosome count. Now, advanced genetic analysis from Nucleus gives parents a new window into the health and well-being of their future child. Nucleus Embryo provides a comprehensive genetic profile for each embryo, encompassing hereditary genetic diseases, like cystic fibrosis and hemochromatosis, alongside genetic measures of cognitive ability, mental health, and risk for chronic diseases. Wide access to genetic insights for embryos can also help extend lifespan from the earliest stages of life. While more than half of all deaths annually in the U.S. are attributed to chronic, age-related conditions — such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease — research shows embryonic selection can materially help reduce disease risk for these conditions. "We celebrate health optimization and the pursuit of longevity in every other part of life via our focus on training, supplements, and sleep," Sadeghi said. "We all know health isn't just the absence of disease. It's the ability to understand our bodies and genetic makeup to reach our full potential. Now we can apply this principle to life's inception." About Nucleus Genomics Nucleus builds software for generational health. Inspired by the loss of his cousin who died of a rare — yet preventable — genetic disease, Nucleus founder and Thiel Fellow Kian Sadeghi left an Ivy League university to build a product that could have saved her life. Our advanced DNA health test and analysis takes the guesswork out of your health, whether it's perfecting your protocols, knowing your risk for cancer, or planning for a healthy family. Follow us on social media @nucleusgenomics. About Genomic Prediction Genomic Prediction, Inc. is the frontrunner in advanced embryo screening. Our proprietary LifeView platform is state-of-the-art technology that assesses embryos for genetic health aimed at improved IVF outcomes. The LifeView Embryo Health Score Test (EHS) offers insight into the likelihood of developing conditions driven by multiple genes. It tests for significant health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, certain cancers, and mental health conditions. The EHS results are derived from the same embryo sample used in the following PGT tests: PGT-A: Identifies chromosome abnormalities in embryos. PGT-A+: Pinpoints the origin (paternal, maternal, or embryonic) of chromosome abnormalities. PGT-M: Decreases the chances of passing on monogenic (single-gene) conditions. PGT-SR: Detects chromosome abnormalities and structural imbalances, providing clarity between normal and balanced chromosomes. View original content to download multimedia: SOURCE Nucleus
