Perhaps what you are looking is industry trends for medical device
manufacturers. Financial overview of this industry if provided at
www.corporateinformation.com. It is not exactly what you are looking for,
but it might lead to something better. I wish I can help. Good evening!

Subject: Need Medical industry mfg. standards

I have been trying to track down "industry standards" for companies that
manufacture respirators, ventilators, or other assisted breathing devices.
HOWEVER, I don't need technical standards -- I need financial ones, such as
"industry standard" profit and loss ratios, etc. It seems that industry
standards are generally promulgated by industry associations. I have so far
contacted: The Medical Device Mfrs. Assoc.; The Assoc for the Advancement
of Medical Instrumentation; and the Advanced Medical Technology Assoc.
None of these groups were able to help. I also contacted the FDA Center for
Devices and Radiological Health's library, but also got no help. I have
also done a basic wexis search, but came up empty.
If anyone can help point me anywhere, I would be forever grateful. Of
course, (and you can all say this in unison) it is a rush!
Thanks very much!
