Theranos Dials Back Lab Tests at FDA’s Behest

Hot Startup Theranos Dials Back Lab Tests at FDA’s Behest

Firm has stopped collecting tiny vials of blood drawn from finger pricks for all but one of its tests

"Theranos has since nearly stopped using the lab instrument, named Edison after the prolific inventor, according to the person familiar with the situation. By the time of the FDA inspection, the company was doing blood tests almost exclusively on traditional lab instruments purchased from diagnostic-equipment makers such as Siemens AG, the person says."
