The blood testing company named Daniel Guggenheim, JD, as chief compliance officer. Formerly, he served as an assistant general counsel at San Francisco-based McKesson.

 

Dave Wurtz, who previously served as an executive at Waltham, Mass.-based Thermo Fisher Scientific, was appointed vice president of regulatory and quality.

Theranos said its board of directors also created a compliance and quality committee.

 

Theranos came under fire last October when the Food and Drug Administration issued a lab inspection reports claiming the company had used an unapproved medical device and lacked proper quality control procedures, both of which jeopardized patient health and safety.
