Well shit. I wasn't saying that they were necessarily hiding it. From my understanding, and this was back around 2000-2001 (which was apparently the last time my info was current), it was because they were poorly managed and weren't able to "get the word out," so to speak. I stand corrected.

Perhaps this is the aspect you saw on the device.

This doesn't surprise me. I live in medical device country, and it seems like at least once every month or two there's some sort of recall or lawsuit.
