INRatio Proposed Class Action Settled Before Alere Lawsuit Could Proceed May 1, 2017. By Gordon Gibb.
Waltham, MA: An Alere lawsuit that had been proposed as a class action on behalf of litigants alleging injury from inaccurate readings from the INRatio blood monitoring device escaped trial when the parties involved agreed to a settlement at the eleventh hour. Briefings related to J.E. et al. v. Alere Inc. et al (Case No. 1:16-cv-11515, in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts), and motions of dismissal put forward by Alere Inc. had been duly submitted, but the judge in the case had yet to rule on them when the settlement was announced.

Failed INRatio Device Fast-Tracked to Market

Failed INRatio Device Fast-Tracked to Market March 10, 2017. By Gordon Gibb.

Alere INRatio Plaintiffs Petition Court to Keep Lawsuit Alive

Alere INRatio Plaintiffs Petition Court to Keep Lawsuit Alive February 17, 2017. By Gordon Gibb.
Boston, MA: The INRatio measuring system manufactured by Alere Inc. (Alere) and subject to an Alere recall last year, has oft been highlighted as part of a study focused on the effectiveness of a new-generation blood thinner when compared against warfarin. The oft-made allegation is that inaccurate readings may have given the newer anticoagulant, in this case Xarelto, an unfair advantage over Coumadin (warfarin). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since opined that in its view, the variances in readings were not drastic enough to sufficiently skew the results.

Adverse Events for Patients Using Alere INRatio System

Adverse Events for Patients Using Alere INRatio System January 21, 2017. By Heidi Turner.
Houston, TX: Patients taking blood thinning medications know they have to be careful to ensure their blood remains in therapeutic levels, to prevent major bleeding episodes. That’s why they use devices like the Alere INRatio2 system, to ensure that if they need it, their blood clots properly. But what happens if they can't be sure the systems that are meant to ensure their safety are actually working properly? That's the issue that was faced by some patients who use the Alere InRatio system, after the system was recalled due to concerns regarding inaccurate results.

Alere Inc. In Tough over Recalled INRatio, Abbott Merger in Jeopardy

Alere Inc. In Tough over Recalled INRatio, Abbott Merger in Jeopardy January 3, 2017. By Gordon Gibb.
Georgetown, DE: An Alere lawsuit filed by former suitor Abbott Laboratories Inc. (Abbott) over a proposed merger is, for the moment, redirecting attention away from the failed INRatio measuring device that was recalled in July. The recalled product nonetheless has a role in the recent performance of Alere Inc. (Alere) that has prompted Abbott to back away. This, in spite of recent assurances from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that any failings of the Alere INRatio device had no bearing on the relationship between warfarin (Coumadin) and Xarelto (rivaroxaban), and the subsequent approval of the latter.

Three Points for Alere INRatio Device

Three Points for Alere INRatio Device December 21, 2016. By Jane Mundy.
Dallas, TX: Negligence allegations against Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson and Bayer AG may have fizzled somewhat. Two recent issues do not bode well for plaintiffs filing Alere INRatio lawsuits. The FDA recently announced that the Alere INRatio anti-coagulation monitoring device had no substantial effect on the outcome of the ROCKET-AF trial and in turn did not significantly favor Xarelto as earlier suspected, and a California Alere class action suit in September was dismissed.
