STOCKHOLM, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Sweden's Getinge
GETIb.ST reported on Monday a drop in third quarter core
profit hit by weak demand, high wage inflation and costs related
to its previous quality and supply problem at a division.
The Swedish medical gear maker's adjusted operating
profit before amortisation, restructuring costs and write-downs
(EBITA) for the quarter amounted to 1.1 billion Swedish crowns
($100.17 million) against 1.2 billion crowns a year earlier.
