Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC has launched an investigation into iRhythm Technologies following a recent FDA Warning Letter issued due to non-conformities related to its Zio AT System.

The letter raised serious concerns about patient safety and regulatory compliance of the device, which could significantly impact the company’s future operations and shareholder value.
New Orleans, LA – Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF) has launched an investigation into iRhythm Technologies, Inc. following a recent Warning Letter issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 30, 2023. The investigation arises amid concerns regarding the company’s Zio AT System, a medical device designed for diagnosing heart arrhythmias.
The FDA’s Warning Letter highlighted significant issues, citing “non-conformities to regulations for medical devices” specifically related to the Zio AT System. Among the reported deficiencies were failure to meet medical device reporting requirements and shortcomings in the company’s quality system. The FDA raised alarms about the Zio AT device’s marketing capabilities, indicating possible undisclosed risks that could affect patient safety, particularly concerning transmission limits of arrhythmia events.
In response to the FDA’s findings, iRhythm Technologies, along with certain executives, has faced a securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit claims that the executives did not disclose crucial information during the class period, which is alleged to be a violation of federal securities laws. This class action lawsuit continues to progress despite a recent court decision that denied iRhythm’s motion to dismiss part of the case.
KSF’s investigation, led by former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., who is now a partner at the law firm, is centered on determining whether iRhythm’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders or violated state or federal laws. They are also appealing to individuals who possess relevant information about the case or hold shares in iRhythm to come forward and share their insights.
