Seized Shelhigh Devices Won't Be Released Yet

Shelhigh executives say the company's future is in jeopardy if it cannot export the seized devices. The judge urged both sides to try to reach a settlement, using a mediator if possible. But, as we predicted, Shelhigh has hired Larry Pilot to help in its defense. Companies who seek out Pilot often do so because he is willing to take on FDA in court. Shelhigh also rejected FDA's request to recall devices it already shipped to hospitals. That's not an indicator of being willing to settle, either.
