if its advertised as 90% accurate, then the 10% dont have a case.

Sure, they can sue, but if they knew going into the test and using this equipment that there was a 90% success rate, then case will be summarily dismissed.

Now, if they advertise that this equipment is 100% accurate/success rate of detection, then you have a liability.

Weather your in the right or wrong a lawsuit is won by the aggressor in most cases. You have to pay a crap ton to defend yourself in the best case scenario you might win but are still out legal fees in most cases. You can try to counter sue for cost buts thats way down the road if you get anything at all.

One of my aquarium vendors was sued for LED patent over an aquarium. (PFO Lighting.) He threw in the towel at 500K in lawyer fees and went Bankrupt. Since then the company with the bogus patent lost the rights to it after another company sued them. PFO is still out of business, too bad they were a good company to deal with. Its a terrible system where the deepest pockets almost always wins. 500k for a light patent defense, now figure what it takes to fend off a wrongful death suit. Tort costs are a large portion of everything you buy in the medical field weather you like to admit it or not. They make obscene profits but loose obscene amounts on lawsuits all the time.
