Robert Marchione and Anthony Skidmore, Misbranding Medical Devices, Vermont 2012

Vermont Duo, Medical Supply Firm, Plead Guilty to Misbranding

Two Vermont men and their medical supply firm have pleaded guilty to introducing misbranded medical devices into interstate commerce.

AADCO Medical, Inc., a medical device supply company operating out of Randolph, Vermont, and its executives, Robert Marchione and Anthony Skidmore, pleaded guilty to Class A Misdemeanors in U.S. District Court in Rutland.

According to the information and plea agreements filed with the Court, from May 2011 through August 2012, AADCO Medical, Robert Marchione, and Anthony Skidmore allegedly introduced and caused the introduction and delivery of six medical lamps as surgical lamps without having complied with the Food and Drug Administration’s requirements that notice be submitted to the FDA prior to the introduction of such devices into interstate commerce.

The misbranded lamps were sold to medical providers in New York, N.Y., Buffalo, N.Y., and Chapel Hill, N.C.

AADCO Medical was ordered to pay a total of $53,070, which included restitution to the victims of $47,945.00, a criminal fine of $5,000.00, and an assessment of $125.00.

Mr. Marchione and Mr. Skidmore were each fined $5,000.00.

‘The FDA’s regulatory requirements for medical devices are designed to ensure the health and safety of patients,’ said Jeffery J. Ebersole, Special Agent in Charge, FDA Office of Criminal Investigations’ New York Field Office.

‘The FDA will continue to aggressively pursue those who place patient’s health at risk for their own profit by compromising the integrity of the legitimate supply chain.’
