Did you know ResMed empowers employees to give back to the community? 20 different volunteer organizations visited our San Diego campus recently, providing an opportunity for all to find a cause to be passionate about. ResMed is committed to changing lives with every breath, and believes community service is just one of the ways we can all make a meaningful difference in our world. What’s your cause?
In 1989, Peter Farrell founded ResMed to treat obstructive sleep apnea in innovative new ways. In one day, that single idea would change the lives of millions of people around the world. Today, we’re a team of more than 4,000 employees, thinking, creating and challenging ourselves to better serve our patients – every day.
To this day, we continue to be energized by Peter and his entrepreneurial spirit as we move forward toward the future. His foundation of innovation continues to inspire and empower us as we:

Awards / Recognition
At ResMed, we are constantly thinking beyond the horizon and challenging ourselves to remain visionaries of the industry we created. We’ve always done things our own way. With integrity. With passion. And with the aspiration to improve lives with our expertise. We’re honored to be recognized with these distinctions:
History
In 1981, Professor Colin Sullivan of the University of Sydney created the first continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. Built from a reverse vacuum cleaner pump, the device was the first noninvasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. While many saw its potential, only Dr. Peter Farrell recognized a commercial opportunity. In 1989, he founded ResMed to advance the treatment of sleep apnea, and in 1995, we began trading on NASDAQ. In 1999, we transferred our principal public listing to the NYSE. In late 1999, we established a secondary listing of our common stock on the Australian Stock Exchange.
As awareness of sleep apnea increases, ResMed continues to grow. Our innovative solutions have defined superior performance and comfort across the industry. And the numbers speak for themselves: the company generated revenue of US $1.6 billion in FY 2014 and had a five-year annual growth rate of 11 percent in revenue and 19 percent in net income."
We believe that the passion and commitment of our team is responsible for our success. So as we continue to grow and work together, we look forward to a successful future for our company and our team members.
Changing lives with every breath
At ResMed, we believe that every breath is a gift. And from the day we began pioneering sleep apnea treatment in 1989, our purpose has been to spread awareness and deliver life-changing products and solutions to patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory conditions.
Twenty-five years later, we’re unveiling a new brand that reinforces our stance as an industry leader and, more importantly, our commitment to improving lives. To reflect our updated brand, we’ve refreshed our company website for the US and updated our logo.
The blue-to-red pulse curve not only symbolizes the transition from deoxygenated to oxygenated blood with every breath and beat of the heart, but it represents the very reason we are here today as an organization; to make every breath another chance for positive change.
In 1981 Professor Colin Sullivan and colleagues at the University of Sydney described and developed nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the first successful, noninvasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
After publication of the initial successful results in Lancet, Sullivan, who had patented the technology, attempted to find a compatible partner to help commercialize the sleep technology. In 1986, Chris Lynch, who was then working with Dr. Peter Farrell, who was Managing Director of the Baxter Centre for Medical Research and also Vice President of R&D for Baxter Healthcare, Japan, met with Sullivan and recommended that Peter also meet with him to hear his story. The result was that in 1987 Farrell, on behalf of Baxter, invested in Sullivan’s technology to further evolve the prototype and subsequently undertake clinical trials of the CPAP device on a group of patients with severe sleep apnea.
In 1988, for a variety of reasons, Baxter decided not to enter the sleep apnea market and in 1989 Dr. Farrell founded ResMed in order to affect a management buyout of the Sullivan sleep technology from Baxter. After the MBO was completed ResMed proceeded to commercialize Sullivan’s prototype CPAP device to allow scalable device production and, therefore, effectively treat a critical mass of patients with OSA, the major manifestation of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
From its early operations, in late 1989, ResMed grew dramatically during the next 25 years. Revenues for the first fiscal year in 1990 were less than $1 million and there were only 9 employees. As of December 2014, RMD employs well over 4000 people globally, operates in 100 countries, has revenues of approximately $1.6 billion and the current market capitalization for RMD on the New York Stock Exchange is close to $7.5 billion.
Our Vision is to be the global solutions leader for SDB, COPD and other major chronic diseases. Our Mission is to improve the quality of life for patients, prevent progression of chronic diseases, and reduce overall healthcare system costs.
