Justice Department Files New Suit Against Boston Scientific

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed another suit against Boston Scientific. The government claims that Guidant (bought by Boston Scientific in 2006) sold the Ventak Prizm 2 and the Renewal 1 and 2 devices even after the company knew they were defective.

Earlier this month Boston Scientific was convicted and sentenced in a criminal case to pay more than $296 million for withholding information from the FDA about “catastrophic failures” in these devices. The suit filed yesterday is designed to recover Medicare payments for the devices.
