Date:7/29/2009

SAN DIEGO, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- CareFusion Corporation, which is expected to become a public company following its planned spinoff from Cardinal Health, today issued the following update regarding its previously disclosed recall of the Alaris System:

This recall also updates the labeling for the Inter Unit Interface (IUI) connectors on the Alaris(R) System.
