Theranos Lab Still Open In Scottsdale Despite Violations Posing 'Immediate Jeopardy'
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services lab inspectors moved to revoke Theranos' lab certificate effective Sept. 5 after finding multiple deficiencies at the company's Newark, Calif., lab. The certificate revocation also would force the shutdown of its Scottsdale lab. But more than two weeks after the Sept. 5 shutdown date passed, the company continues to draw blood from metro Phoenix customers and process those blood samples at its Scottsdale lab.
