Lawsuit originate from Vasca’s sale of the LifeSite System. Vasca, Inc., the developer, manufacturer and marketer of the LifeSite® Hemodialysis Access System, announced today that it has been named in a lawsuit filed in California on behalf of a LifeSite patient.

Vasca has been working with the FDA, and the FDA has indicated that the company has taken appropriate corrective actions to address the concerns raised in the Warning Letter.
“We are continuing our review of this suit and will vigorously and confidently defend against the claims, particularly any allegation that questions the safety and efficacy of our product,” said William “Mo” Cowan, counsel for Vasca.
