What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $75,819 of the $117,179 with a category attached, or 64.7%. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 96.7% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among anesthesiology clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
