More than a quarter of Theranos’ blood analyzers were failing quality control after it started offering blood tests, threatening patients’ health, and company founder Elizabeth Holmes was told about problems with the technology, the court heard in Holmes’ criminal fraud trial Wednesday.
Holmes’ lawyers have sought to distance her from the operations of the company laboratory where the analyzers were used. Attorney Lance Wade earlier this week told court the labs were overseen by Holmes’ co-accused, former Theranos president Sunny Balwani, whom she has accused of abusing and coercing her during their romantic relationship.
