Imaging3 appoints law firm to aid Dominion approval
This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
Imaging3 has appointed international law firm McDermott Will & Emery as an FDA consultant, hoping that this will aid the approval of its troubled Dominion 3D scanner. Last week the US FDA rejected the firm's 510(k) application for the device, sending its shares plunging to almost half their value (www.clinica.co.uk, 3 November 2010). At the time, Burbank, California-based Imaging3 said the decision "did not make any sense", adding that it planned to hire a "big hitter" in the consulting or legal field to try and get the product approved.
