ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On August 31, 2000, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August
17, 2000, by and among the Registrant, ALARIS Medical Systems, Inc. ("AMS" or
"the Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ALARIS Medical, Inc., Card Guard
Scientific Survival Ltd. ("Buyer Parent") and Card Guard Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Buyer Parent ("Buyer"), AMS sold the assets and certain
liabilities of its Instromedix division ("Instromedix") to Buyer for $30 million
in cash ("the Sale").

Approximately $18 million of the net cash proceeds of the transaction (after
taxes and other estimated costs) were used to repay indebtedness under AMS
credit facility.

The Asset Purchase Agreement and the other agreements executed in connection
with the sale provide that AMS will assist Buyer in setting up a fully
independent headquarters and manufacturing facility in San Diego, California.
Pursuant to these agreements, $5 million of the $30 million purchase price was
placed in escrow. AMS will receive such escrowed amounts upon completion of its
obligations under the agreements. During this transition period, AMS will
continue to manufacture Instromedix products for Buyer.

The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such Agreement, a copy which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 2(a). Registrant agrees to furnish supplementally to the Commission upon
request a copy of all omitted schedules and exhibits to the Asset Purchase
Agreement.


ITEM 7.   FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND EXHIBITS.

(b)      Pro Forma Financial Information.

Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the following
unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of the Company has
been prepared to reflect the Sale as if it had been consummated on earlier
dates.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared to reflect
the Sale, the receipt of all proceeds and payment of all related costs as having
occurred on June 30, 2000 and (i) excludes Instromedix assets and liabilities
that were purchased by Card Guard Technologies, Inc.; (ii) includes an $18.3
million debt reduction from the proceeds; (iii) excludes Instromedix intangible
assets and related deferred tax liabilities; and (iv) reflects the payment of
transaction costs and expenses, including income taxes of approximately $8
million, associated with the Sale.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based on
the Company's historical results and have been adjusted to (i) exclude the
Instromedix operating results for the period presented; (ii) reflect the
impact on interest expense of the repayment of $18.3 million of debt; and
(iii) adjust the income tax provision for such changes. The unaudited pro
forma statements of operations are presented for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 and the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The year
ended December 31, 1997 has not been presented, as the purchase of
Instromedix did not occur until 1998. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 reflects the
debt repayment as of July 17, 1998 (the acquisition date of Instromedix). All
other unaudited pro forma statements of operations presented reflect the debt
repayment as if it had taken place at the beginning of the period.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated
results of operations that might have been achieved had the transaction actually
been consummated on the assumed dates, nor is it necessarily indicative of the
Company's consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations
which may occur in the future.
