This exposes the weaknesses in our current system. From the article "Theranos provided data". Science is about reproducibility. Evidently the FDA isn't responsible for reproducing the science from companies and instead takes them at their word.
I think it shows that generally speaking our regulatory bodies need to evolve. They need a quality control program that periodically audits the information provided to them and conduct their own independent review/replication of the experiments. If reproducibility isn't possible then severely punish companies that are found to be misrepresenting their data.
