Depuy Synthes Inc., of Raynham, Mass., has agreed to pay $9.75 million to settle allegations that several members of its sales team had induced an orthopedic surgeon to use the company’s products in orthopedic procedures by offering free implants and surgical instruments. The fine comes under the guise of a False Claims Act violation but might have been substantially larger but for the fact that Depuy reported the issue to federal authorities.
