The Department of Justice announced that a regulatory affairs specialist for a medical device manufacturer was sentenced to prison for his role in distributing devices that lacked FDA clearance.

The actions led to the illegal sale of two medical devices in the U.S., amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. 

The sentence follows last year’s guilty plea by the individual, Peter Stoll III, to one felony count of violating the Federal, Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. He had been charged with causing the introduction of misbranded and adulterated medical devices into interstate commerce.
