The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a complaint in U.S. district court related to marketing of a pelvic muscle rehabilitation system by the Prometheus Group of Raleigh, N.C., stating that the company encouraged health care professionals to reuse rectal pressure sensors and anorectal manometry catheters on multiple patients.
Clinical laboratories and hospitals have routine commercial interactions, and most of those are entirely legal, but this is not always the case. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently decreed that an arrangement in which the hospital pays the lab for blood specimen collection handling services, or a “draw fee,” would not be permissible under the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), reinforcing an existing understanding that such activities present a significant legal hazard for operators of clinical labs.
Hologic Inc. received FDA premarket approval for its Aptima CMV Quant assay, which enables monitoring of viral loads of transplant patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV).

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee has posted its version of U.S. FDA user fee legislation, a bill that echoes many of the primary features of the version already at play in the House of Representatives. One critical difference is that the Senate bill includes legislation that would enable the FDA to regulate lab-developed tests (LDTs), the so-called Verifying Accurate, Leading-edge IVCT Development (VALID) Act, the omission of which from the House bill ruffled a few feathers. The American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA) responded to the Senate bill with a May 17 statement applauding the inclusion of the VALID Act in the Senate user fee bill.
