So uh… as someone who works in biotech and understands exactly what level of rigor is required before the FDA allows you to sell a medical device - a term that has specific legal definition, regulations, and restrictions, I’m a bit suspicious this could be fake. This sort of error would indicate a systemic error and abrogation of due diligence at at least 4 different levels, and would be an apocalyptically huge lawsuit.
Edit: I stand corrected - lots of people are corroborating this whole thing. That’s kind of astounding, tbh.
FDA requirements were the first thing that popped into my mind. Is it possible somehow these devices fall under different regulations than “medical devices”? I am only vaguely familiar with the applicable 21 CFR regs. This seems like a pretty gargantuan screw up since it could, I would think, kill people.

Yikes.
“and would be an apocalyptically huge lawsuit.”
Apocalyptically huge lawsuit, here we come!!!
This all vibes like the kind of lawsuit that ideally should land managers in prison.
That is a sacrifice I am willing to make!
I love their subtle attempt at shifting blame here.
I mean they posted the steps to replicate it so it wouldn’t take long to debunk that sort of thing as being fake.
