Does anyone here actually understand FDA compliance and responsibility for medical devices?
Discontinuing a training program greatly reduces their AND the hospitals liability.
I am honestly surprised the FDA even allowed a training certification for a life safety device.
Just because a company stops doing something does not mean they have malicious intent. Maybe they are going to start including maintenance in the cost of the device instead of charging people? Or maybe they are going to displace the cost of the training by doing the maintenance. Did you think the certification class was free?
Has anyone here actually worked with Terumo? Were they asked to comment by 404 media? I can't tell since they block the article unless you sign up.
Also do you really want Jane-Sue or Jim-Bob the hospital maintenance person messing with a machine that is literally keeping you alive during surgery, or would you prefer the company that made it, and designed it and literally only supports that machine is making sure its running properly?
But 404 media said this company is evil so they must be. But they won't even allow someone to read their articles without subscribing so who am I to say if they are exaggerating or not.
