Medtronic and DaVita’s dialysis venture appears to be called Mozarc Medical

The companies used “NewCo” as a placeholder when announcing the new company last year and said a renaming and rebranding would come when the deal closes sometime in 2023. Since then, Medtronic has filed trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for Mozarc and Mozarc Medical relating to dialysis products.
