re: Looking for article on ventilatior company
@Taris So far, the only one I've found is about Covidien buying Newport Medical. Newport had a contract to provide additional stock to the ventilator supply, but on its own internals, wasn't able to meet the price point, and so after Covidien bought them, they changed direction.

That might not be the one you are talking about, though.
