Tietel will leave his position with the INRatio maker. Tietel\u2019s departure comes at a challenging period for the medical device maker. In 2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochranfirm.com\/washington-dc\/alere-inratio-inr-test-strips-lawsuit\/\">Alere recalled its INRatio<\/a> home PT\/INR monitor system and test strips after the medical device was linked with numerous injuries and at least three deaths.<\/p>\n<p>The INRatio and INRatio2 monitor system is used to test an individual\u2019s INR level when taking the blood-thinning drug warfarin. According to the urgent FDA recall issued for the Alere INRatio, the device provided users with erroneously-low INR readings. This malfunction caused users to believe their INR levels were within a safe, therapeutic range when in fact, the <a href=\"http:\/\/inratiorecall.com\/who-is-at-risk-for-an-alere-inratio-bleeding-injury\/\">users could be at risk for a serious bleeding event<\/a> or even death.<\/p>\n<p>The medical diagnostics products maker has not hired a replacement for Mr. Teitel, who received $540,779 in compensation during 2013 according to public filings. Mr. Teitel will remain as Alere\u2019s CFO until a replacement is retained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Cochran Firm, D.C. is investigating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochranfirm.com\/washington-dc\/alere-inratio-inr-test-strips-lawsuit\/\">claims related to Alere INRatio bleeding<\/a> events.
