The medical company Theranos, which had valued US$9 billion, fell off the altar due to alleged fraud. CEO Elizabeth Holmes recently announced a new Theranos Sample Processing Unit at the US Congress of Clinical Chemistry. MiniLab.
Holmes said at the meeting that this technology is not the same as the blood test product that had previously been problematic. Blood samples can be taken using fingertips to provide a blood sample for the Zika virus test and more strains of the mosquito-borne virus can be detected.
According to the sources, the mini Lab can conduct 11 tests on the same blood sample. At the meeting, Holmes also published the clinical data of this device. She said that the device can perform up to 40 blood sample tests. However, some people questioned and thought that The amount of blood cannot be tested so much.
At present, the clinical data provided by Holmes does not originate from third-party organizations, nor has it received FDA approval, so its accuracy has yet to be validated.
With regard to the ups and downs of Theranos, there have been reports of Lei Fengnet (searching for "Lei Feng Net" public concern) . The company was founded in 2003 and claims that they can complete the test with only one drop of blood. The main reason is that the company has mastered a core technology: microfluidics.
If Theranos claims to be true, the company's microfluidics technology can cause disruptive changes in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and life sciences. It can even form a revolutionary impact.
However, since 2015, the Washington Daily’s consecutive exposure and reports have caused the company, which was once considered by Tesla, to fall off the altar:
On October 16, 2015, The Wall Street Daily reported that Theranos had seriously overstated its technical capabilities, saying that most of the company's current blood tests were performed using non-Theranos devices.
On October 22, 2015, the Wall Street Journal published an article claiming that Theranos only applied one of its 240 tests.
On October 28, 2015, the FDA issued two reports with a code of 483, pointing out problems found in Theranos' multiple inspections and asking the company to stop using Edsion equipment for testing.
At the end of January 2016, the U.S. Federal Medical Insurance and the Federal Medical Service Center (CMS) stated that the Theranos laboratories have a large number of defects in the operation process and test results, which “directly harm patient safetyâ€.
In April 2016, the Wall Street Journal revealed that the Federal Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission have been involved in the investigation. CEO Elizabeth Holmes and President Sunny Balwani will be revoked by the federal regulator for two years.
On July 9 this year, the Wall Street Journal pointed out that Theranos was punished by the health authorities and revoked its blood laboratory's operating license and stipulated that it would not be reopened within two years. Recently, Holmes released new products again. Does anyone still want to pay for it?
