Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net [Abstract]
Goodwill And Intangible Assets, Net	Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, NET The increase in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, resulted from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The decrease in intangible assets other than goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, resulted primarily from the continued amortization of our intangible assets and an impairment charge related to our OPTI® Medical line of business, partly offset by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the first half of 2016, management reviewed the OPTI Medical product offerings. As a result of this review, we discontinued our product development activities in the human point-of-care medical diagnostics market during March 2016 and focused our commercial efforts in this market on supporting our latest generation OPTI CCA-TS2 Blood Gas and Electrolyte Analyzer. Management identified unfavorable trends in our OPTI Medical line of business resulting from this change in strategy. We revised our forecasts downward, causing us to assess the realizability of the related tangible and intangible assets and determined the expected future cash flows were less than the carrying value of the OPTI Medical asset group. Non-cash intangible asset impairments of $2.2 million were recorded within our condensed consolidated statement of operations within general and administration expenses during the first half of 2016. The intangibles associated with our OPTI Medical human point-of-care medical diagnostics market are fully written off.
