3.31.10--The cochlear implants maker Advanced Bionics has received the resignation of its former president, Jeffrey H. Greiner in a letter addressed to "AB Recipients," and available on the Advanced Bionics website.

In another development, a case between Boston Scientific and Advanced Bionics related to a break-up between the two companies has resulted in startling documents being made public for the first time.

President and co-CEO at the time, Jeffrey Mr. Greiner, and other high level management officials, discussed failures in Advanced Bionics quality systems.

In the documents, Greiner admits that the defective “Vendor B” cochlear implant failures were caused by Advanced Bionics' “failure to properly qualify and test a critical component to assure its long term reliability” and in another document a high-level management discusses a “culture of fear” at Advanced Bionics as being “one of the primary root causes of our current quality and reliability crisis.”

Below are now-public documents that Weitz & Luxenberg has obtained from the unsealed record in the Woods v. Boston Scientific litigation in Federal court in the Southern District of New York.
