Antitrust attorneys working with third parties told CTFN that a divestiture of NxStage’s bloodline tubing unit is being discussed as a condition in closing its $2 billion acquisition by Fresenius.
“NxStage is DaVita’s longstanding and preferred bloodline tubing vendor,” one attorney said. “DaVita directly competes with Fresenius in the in-clinic dialysis space. This unit will have to go.”
A divestiture of the smaller of the two firm’s units will almost certainly be a requirement, with the line going to a party other than Baxter, said a second attorney working with a third party. “There may be ancillary issues concerning R&D and other assets in this area, but I suspect the parties could put together a package that would work either for one of the smaller incumbents or a new entrant.”
