NOTE 12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Revenue and Other Transactions Entered Into In the Ordinary Course of Business

Prior to the Separation, we operated as part of Danaher and not as a stand-alone company and certain of our revenue arrangements related to contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business with Danaher and its affiliates. Following the Separation, we continue to enter into arms-length arrangements in the ordinary course of business with Danaher and its affiliates, although certain agreements were entered into or terminated as a result of the Separation. Sales and purchases from these arrangements with Danaher were not material during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016.
