PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) -- Medical device maker Varian Medical Systems Inc. said Wednesday it completed the buyout of China-based X-ray tube distributor Pan-Pacific Enterprises for about $2 million in cash. Privately held Pan-Pacific has been distributing Varian X-ray tubes in China since 1991. Varian said it will also pay Pan-Pacific additional milestone payments as part of the buyout. The buyout is part of Varian's plan to expand its X-ray products business in China. Pan-Pacific, with 30 employees spread between Beijing and Shanghai facilities, will operate within Varian's X-ray product business. Varian expects the buyout to be neutral to its 2008 earnings per share.
