Covidien has announced it will acquire Israel-based Oridion Systems for approximately $300 million, according to a news release.

Oridion Systems develops Microstream capnography monitors and modules as well as etCO2 breath sampling lines. These products monitor adequacy of ventilation.

The companies expect to complete the merger in the second calendar quarter of 2012.
