Medical device branding
is the subject of legal action
The second former sales representative from Massachusetts medical device company Stryker has pleaded guilty to charges related to the misbranding of a medical device.
Justin Demming pleaded guilty to a charge of felony misbranding of a medical device according to U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan's office. Demming was former territory manager for Stryker and was charged with "promoting the use of devices in a way that was different from the FDA approved use." Although Stryker Corp. is not listed in court documents, many references indicate that Demming worked for Stryker. He faces up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine at his June 3 sentencing, according to Sullivan's office.
The guilty plea follows the November guilty plea of a Stryker sales representative. Darnell Martin admitted to similar activity. He is scheduled for sentencing May 13.
