"One key question that wasn’t addressed in the Mount Sinai study is whether Theranos used its proprietary devices to run those tests.
Test reports provided to patients show that the tests were run at the company’s lab in Newark, Calif. That lab has Theranos’s proprietary Edison devices and traditional lab machines bought from diagnostic-equipment makers such as
Siemens AG, according to former Theranos employees.
One former Theranos employee said the company wasn’t performing the 22 tests in question on Edison devices as recently as June 2015, or the month before the Mount Sinai tests.
Instead, Theranos was diluting small blood samples collected from fingers to increase the volume of those samples and then running them through traditional lab machines, according to the former employee."
