Elizabeth Holmes, the CEO of the medical-testing company Theranos, has been barred from operating medical labs for two years, The Wall Street Journal reports.

　　据《华尔街日报》报道，医疗检测公司Theranos的CEO 伊丽莎白.霍尔莫斯被判处未来 2 年内禁止从事医疗实验室相关领域。

　　Theranos has been the subject of high-profile media coverage about the fectiveness of its blood-testing methods. Its flagship product is a finger-prick blood test, but reports claimed that the test didn’t produce accurate results.

　　由于对其血液检测结果有效性的质疑，霍尔莫斯近来备受瞩目，频繁出现在各大媒体的报道中。该公司的旗舰产品是一项手指针刺血液采样检测，不过报道指出检测结果并不准确。

　　Controversy over the fectiveness of Theranos’ tests caused its main retail partner, the US chain Walgreens, to end its relationship with the company.

　　鉴于对Theranos 公司测试效果的争议，Theranos 最大的合作伙伴——美国连锁药店沃尔格林也终止了与其的合作。

　　Now Holmes is coming under investigation by federal health regulators. The Journal reports that Holmes has been hit with a fine along with a two-year ban from operating a lab that tests blood samples. Theranos’ lab in California has also had its approval revoked.

　　现在霍尔莫斯正在接受联邦卫生监管机构的调查。据《华尔街日报》报道，霍尔莫斯需要缴纳一笔罚款，同时被判处未来 2 年内禁止从事医疗实验室相关领域。该公司在加州的实验室也被撤销执照。

　　Theranos explained in a post on its website that it would move testing to other labs, and the revocation won’t happen for 60 days. These sanctions won’t stop Theranos from operating, but it’s a blow to the company that does nothing to improve its public image.

　　Theranos公司公布的官方声明解释说，它将转移到其他的实验室做测试。未来 60 天内，加州的实验室暂不会被吊销执照。Theranos也不会因这些处罚措施而停止运行，然而，这对公司的公众形象确实是一个沉重的打击。

　　Theranos issued the following statement to The Journal about the regulators’ decision:

　　对于联邦卫生监管机构的处罚决定，Theranos公司发表了如下声明：

　　"We accept full responsibility for the issues at our laboratory in Newark, California, and have already worked to undertake comprehensive remedial actions. Those actions include shutting down and subsequently rebuilding the Newark lab from the ground up, rebuilding quality systems, adding highly experienced leadership, personnel and experts, and implementing enhanced quality and training procedures.

　　“我们对加州纽华克的实验室出现的问题负全部责任，并已经进行全面的补救措施。这些补救措施包括关闭并彻底重建纽华克实验室，重建质量体系，引进更多经验丰富的管理者、员工和专家，以及提高质量，改善培训程序。”
