Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Dispositions [Table Text Block]

On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of its blood screening business to its long-time commercial partner, Grifols for a sales price of $1.85 billion in cash, subject to adjustment based on an estimated closing amount of inventory. The divestiture was completed on January 31, 2017, and the Company received $1.865 billion. The sales price is subject to adjustment based on a finalization of inventory provided to Grifols. The sale resulted in a gain of $899.7 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 within operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As a result of this disposition and proceeds received, the Company recorded a tax obligation of $649.5 million, the majority of which is anticipated to be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Upon the closing of the transaction, the Company's existing collaboration agreement with Grifols terminated, and a new collaboration agreement was executed as part of this transaction for the Company to provide certain research and development services to Grifols. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide transition services to Grifols over the next two to three years depending on the nature of the respective service, including the manufacture of inventory. The Company has also agreed to sell Panther instrumentation and certain supplies to Grifols as part of a long term supply agreement. In determining the accounting for the multiple elements of the overall arrangement, the Company has allocated $13.1 million of the proceeds to these elements based on their estimated fair values.

The Company has determined this disposal does not qualify to be reported as a discontinued operation as the blood screening business was deemed not to be strategic to the Company and has not had and will not have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Under the previous collaboration agreement, the Company performed research and development activities and manufacturing, while Grifols performed the commercial and distribution activities. The blood screening business was embedded within the Company's molecular diagnostics business, and the Company retains ownership and will continue to use the intellectual property for the underlying technology of its molecular diagnostics assays and instrumentation.
Income from operations of the disposed business for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2017 and March 26, 2016 was as follows:

The Company believes that the sale of its blood screening business to Grifols constitutes an asset sale under the Credit Agreement and the Indenture for its 2022 Notes that, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, the Company is permitted to use the after tax net proceeds to reinvest in its business. The Company is then required to apply the balance of net available cash, unless otherwise consented to by its lenders, to Mandatory Prepayments as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company has met the reinvestment requirement under both the Credit Agreement and Indenture as a result of the purchase of Cynosure.
Derivatives

Interest Rate Cap - Cash Flow Hedge
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposure to some of its interest rate risk through the use of interest rate caps, which are derivative financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. For a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent there is any hedge ineffectiveness, changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion are immediately recognized in earnings in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
During fiscal 2015, the Company entered into separate interest rate cap agreements with multiple counter-parties to help mitigate the interest rate volatility associated with the variable interest rate on amounts borrowed under its Credit Agreement. Interest rate cap agreements provide the right to receive cash if the reference interest rate rises above a contractual rate. The aggregate premium paid for the interest rate cap agreements was $13.2 million, which was the initial fair value of the instruments recorded in the Company's financial statements.
The critical terms of the interest rate caps were designed to mirror the terms of the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings under its Credit Agreement and therefore are highly effective at offsetting the cash flows being hedged. The Company designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on $1.0 billion of principal over a three-year period, which ends on December 29, 2017.
As of April 1, 2017, the Company determined that the existence of hedge ineffectiveness, if any, was immaterial and all changes in the fair value of the interest rate caps were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as a component of AOCI.
During the three and six months ended April 1, 2017, $1.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income related to the interest rate cap agreements. The Company expects to similarly reclassify a loss of approximately $6.0 million from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Income in the next twelve months.
The aggregate fair value of these interest rate caps was $3.2 million and $1.4 million at April 1, 2017 and September 24, 2016, respectively and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 2 “Fair Value Measurements” above for related fair value disclosures.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate certain operational exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company's operations that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, the UK Pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Japanese Yen. These foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to support transactions made in the ordinary course of business and are not speculative in nature. The contracts are generally for periods of one year or less. The Company has not elected hedge accounting for any of the forward foreign currency contracts it has executed; however, the Company may seek to apply hedge accounting in future scenarios. The change in the fair value of these contracts is recognized directly in earnings as a component of other income (expense), net. During the three and six months ended April 1, 2017, the Company recorded net realized gains of $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, from settling forward foreign currency contracts and an unrealized loss of $3.9 million and an unrealized gain of $4.5 million, respectively, on the mark-to-market for its outstanding forward foreign currency contracts. During the three and six months ended March 26, 2016, the Company recorded realized gains of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from settling forward foreign currency contracts and a net unrealized loss of $0.7 million and an unrealized gain of $0.3 million, respectively, on the mark-to-market for its outstanding forward foreign currency contracts.
As of April 1, 2017, the Company had outstanding forward foreign currency contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. dollar of forecasted transactions denominated in the Euro, UK Pound, Australian dollar, Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen with an aggregate notional amount of $80.5 million.
