SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $0.33 par value (“Common Stock”), of Patient Safety Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 43460 Ridge Park Drive, Suite 140, Temecula, California 92590.

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Schedule 13D is filed by Cardinal Health, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Reporting Person”). The Reporting Person’s principal executive offices are located at 7000 Cardinal Place, Dublin, Ohio 43017. The Reporting Person is a leading provider of products and services that improve the cost-effectiveness of healthcare.

The name, business address, and present principal occupation of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Person are set forth in Annex A to this Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference. Each director and executive officer of the Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.

During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of its directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Other than the settlement of the SEC investigation described in the paragraph below, during the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of its directors or executive officers has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

On July 26, 2007, the Reporting Person announced a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that concluded an SEC investigation relating principally to the Reporting Person’s financial reporting and disclosures. As part of the settlement, the Reporting Person, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, consented to the entry of a judgment in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The judgment, which was entered by the court on August 2, 2007, among other things, enjoined the Reporting Person from future violations of the federal securities laws and required the Reporting Person to pay a civil penalty of $35 million and retain an independent consultant to review certain company policies and procedures.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On November 19, 2009, the Reporting Person acquired a warrant to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a warrant to purchase 625,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”) pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated November 19, 2009 (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Reporting Person. No money was paid for the Warrants, which were acquired in connection with the execution of a Supply and Distribution Agreement, effective November 19, 2009, between the Issuer and the Reporting Person.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

The purpose of the acquisition of the Warrants by the Reporting Person is for investment purposes. The Warrants were not acquired for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer. The Reporting Person may, from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person, acquire Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, in whole or in part, acquire Common Stock in another manner or dispose of the Warrants or any or all shares of Common Stock that it may acquire. At the date of this Schedule 13D, except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any

 

3


person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of the board of directors or management of the Issuer, or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those actions enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) As of November 19, 2009, as a result of its acquisition of the Warrants, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock, which shares represent 7.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person, as reported in this Schedule 13D, was calculated by dividing (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as of November 19, 2009 as set forth in this Schedule 13D, by (ii) 23,456,188 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 16, 2009, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2009, plus 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

As of the date hereof, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, no director or executive officer of the Reporting Person beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

(b) If the Warrants are exercised in full, the Reporting Person will have sole power to vote and to dispose of 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock.

(c) Neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, any director or executive officer of the Reporting Person has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) Not Applicable.

(e) Not Applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Other than the Warrants, the Warrant Purchase Agreement, and a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 19, 2009 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Reporting Person, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Person and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the Issuer’s securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profit or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

The information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 5 is incorporated by reference in this Item 6.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides the Reporting Person certain registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants.
