Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , stated, "We started the year with a revenue challenge due to consolidation in the plasma market. Our guidance reflected that business reality. We're very pleased that in the first three quarters of the year, growth in our non plasma businesses exceeded our plans. That growth, which we believe is sustainable, plus other factors, positions us to achieve earnings per share in a higher range than originally planned."

Several factors affected the Company's financial results.

Industry reports indicate that plasma collections may have declined by 15-20% due to industry consolidation and efforts to reduce plasma inventory levels. Haemonetics continues to be affected by these market pressures. Blood bank disposables revenue was $34 million, up 14.8% over Q3:04 and $98 million year-to-date, up 19.2% over FY04. There are several factors contributing to blood bank sales success year-to-date: unit volume increases, share gains and a shift to higher priced filtered platelet collection sets in Japan, and an increase in sales of intravenous intravenous /in·tra·ve·nous/ (-ve´nus) within a vein or veins.intrave´nously in·tra·ve·nous adj.

PATIENT PRODUCT LINE HIGHLIGHTS OrthoPAT(R) brand disposables revenue was $6 million, up 61.0% over Q3:04 and $14 million year-to-date, up 66.9% over FY04.

OrthoPAT revenue benefited from volume and price increases for the quarter. Haemonetics also reported that customer acceptance trials in Europe Europe (y  r`əp), 6th largest continent, c.4,000,000 sq mi (10,360,000 sq km) including adjacent islands (1992 est. pop. 512,000,000). and the U.S. for the cardioPAT(TM) surgical blood salvage system are
going well. Haemonetics expects full market release for the cardioPAT
system by the end of the calendar year and will initially target the
