Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Hold' on Becton Dickinson (NYSE: BDX) price target of $78.00.

Canaccord analyst, Jeffrey Frelick, said, "BDX announced today that it received both FDA 510(k) clearance and CLIA waiver for its next-gen lateral flow rapid flu test. This is the first CLIA-waived rapid flu test system that produces digital, objective results. Although positive for BDX, we maintain our rating as we wait for more meaningful products to launch in 2012."
