I hear the rep in Eastern Ky had to send out a retraction emails to over 150 people at an account that he sent fake Maude data to. Nice ethics at Abbot Vascular.

Excellent post. Thank you for maintaining Abbott’s outstanding service and compliance record. Our customers remain our customers because of our attention to detail in all that we do, including post market surveillance that protects them and the patients we serve. Best practices in reporting to FDA is not a choice, it is MANDATORY. If you are not on MAUDE, your flying in the face of an injustice and will have your day in court.
