Summary
This filing is an amendment to Becton, Dickinson and Company's (BDX) Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The amendment's sole purpose is to provide the "Valuation and Qualifying Accounts" (Schedule II) in interactive data format, which was inadvertently omitted from the original filing.

This amendment does not introduce new financial data or strategic changes but rather addresses a technical filing requirement.
