On January 27, 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported that “Federal inspectors found ‘deficient practices’ at a Theranos Inc. laboratory that ‘pose immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety.’”  The article further reported that the recent inspection had “uncovered five major infractions that violate the federal law governing clinical labs,” and that one infraction was defined “as a situation ‘likely to cause, at any time, serious injury or harm, or death, to individuals served by the laboratory or to the health and safety of the general public.’”

Most recently, on March 8, 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported that a “federal inspection report said a Theranos Inc. laboratory ran an important blood test on 81 patients in a six-month period despite erratic results from quality-control checks meant to ensure the test’s accuracy,” and that “[i]nnacurate results from the test can be especially serious for patients.”  Citing people familiar with the inspection report, The Wall Street Journal further reported that “the report also found that the lab’s director didn’t have responsibility for the lab’s quality control program and the lab’s quality-control manager was unqualified.”
