BOSTON, September 22, 2022 – Casner & Edwards announces a $4.2 million settlement of a False Claims Act lawsuit against Philip North America LLC d/b/a Philips Healthcare, a subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips N.V. Relators had alleged that Philips Healthcare made false claims to the U.S. government related to the airworthiness of the IntelliVue MP2 Mobile Patient Monitor ("MP2"), a portable medical monitoring device used in military and other government aircraft. Casner & Edwards attorney George W. Price represented the whistleblowers as co-counsel along with Pugsley Wood LLP. Safe-To-Fly and Airworthiness certification ensures that a product and its component parts: (1) will work in the air; (2) will not hinder the operation or navigation of the aircraft; and (3) will not allow for hostile detection of the aircraft or the product. After making modifications to the MP2, Philips admits that it did not adequately notify the relevant military testing facilities to determine whether the device required retesting for certification. As a Casner & Edwards Partner, Price represents businesses and individuals in a wide range of complex business litigation matters in state and federal courts nationwide.
