Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Hedge Accounting and Hedging Program

The purposes of our cash flow hedging programs are to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit, and to manage floating interest rate
risk associated with future interest payments on variable-rate term loans issued in January 2022. We do not issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The par forward contract and forward-starting interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and are classified based on the instrument's maturity date. We record changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income and we reclassify that gain or loss into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Forward Exchange Forward Contracts

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the related cash flows. These contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a currency at a predetermined future date and at a predetermined exchange rate. Our foreign exchange forward contracts hedge exposures principally denominated in Mexican Pesos ("MXN"), Euros, Czech Koruna ("CZK"), Japanese Yen ("JPY"), U.S. Dollar ("USD"), Chinese Renminbi ("CNH"), Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and Australian Dollar ("AUD") and have varying maturities with an average term of approximately twelve months. The total notional amount of these outstanding derivative contracts as of December 31, 2022 was $206.0 million, which included the notional equivalent of $61.3 million in MXN, $31.7 million in Euros, $13.9 million in CZK, $15.3 million in JPY, $11.5 million in CNH, $43.2 million in USD, $11.6 million in CAD, $11.9 million in AUD and $5.6 million in other foreign currencies, with terms currently through February 2024. Certain contracts were acquired as part of the Smiths Medical acquisition. We did not have such derivative contracts as of December 31, 2021.

Cross-currency Par Forward Contracts

We entered into cross-currency par forward contracts to hedge a portion of our Mexico forecasted expenses denominated in MXN. These contracts are agreements to exchange cash flows from one currency to another at specified intervals over the contract term with all exchanges occurring at the same predetermined rate.
In November 2018, we hedged a portion of our Mexico forecasted expenses denominated in Pesos ("MXN") by entering into a one-year cross-currency par forward contract. The term of the one-year hedge was November 1, 2019 to November 3, 2020. The derivative instrument matured in equal monthly amounts at a fixed forward rate of 22.11 MXN/USD.

In March 2020, we entered into a one-year cross-currency par forward contract. The total notional amount of this outstanding derivative as of December 31, 2020 was approximately 436.8 million MXN. The term of this one-year contract was November 3, 2020 to December 1, 2021. The derivative instrument matured in equal monthly amounts at a fixed forward rate of 24.26 MXN/USD.

In November 2021, we entered into a one-year cross-currency par forward contract. The total notional amount of this outstanding derivative as of December 31, 2021 was approximately 413.1 million MXN. The term of this one-year contract is December 1, 2021 to December 1, 2022. The derivative instrument matured in equal monthly amounts at a fixed forward rate of 21.60 MXN/USD.

Floating Interest Rate Risk

In November 2021, in anticipation of entering into the new senior secured credit facilities in January 2022, which included a variable-rate term loan A and a variable-rate term loan B (see Note 11: Long-term Debt), we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swaps. In February 2022, certain terms under the agreements were amended to reflect the transition from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), an alternative reference rate. Under the interest rate swap agreements we exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional amount. The term loan A swap, as amended, has an initial notional amount of
$300.0 million, reducing to $150.0 million evenly on a quarterly basis through its final maturity on March 30, 2027. We will pay a fixed rate of 1.32% and will receive the greater of 3-month USD SOFR or (0.15)%. The term loan B swap, as amended, has an initial notional amount of $750.0 million, reducing to $46.9 million evenly on a quarterly basis excluding its final maturity on March 30, 2026. We will pay a fixed rate of 1.17% and will receive the greater of 3-month USD SOFR or 0.35%. These forward-starting swaps will effectively convert the relevant portion of the floating-rate term loans to fixed rates.
