The Investigative Committee of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a formal Complaint against Dr. Kaplan charging him with two violations of Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 630, to-wit:  Count I:  NRS 630.301(4), malpractice, as defined by NAC 630.040; Count II:  NRS 630.306(7), continual failure to exercise the skill or diligence or use the methods ordinarily exercised under the same circumstances by physicians in good standing practicing in the same specialty or field.

Case No. 11-12859

The Investigative Committee of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners, upon review of evidence and information presented by Board staff, immediately suspended Dr. Kaplan's license to practice medicine, pursuant to NRS 630.326(1), based upon preliminary findings set forth in the Order of Summary Suspension.  The Investigative Committee believed that the health, safety and welfare of the public was at imminent risk of harm by Dr. Kaplan's verified and admitted re-use of single-use-only medical devices, namely endocavity needle guides, during the performance of prostate biopsies, and that a summary suspension of Dr. Kaplan's medical license was necessary to remove said risk of imminent harm to the health, safety and welfare of the public. Pursuant to NRS 630.326(1), the Board ordered that Dr. Kaplan's license to practice medicine in the state of Nevada be suspended until further order of the Investigative Committee or Board and further ordered that a hearing be set within 45 days of its Order regarding this matter, pursuant to NRS 630.326(2), to determine whether this suspension may continue, unless the parties mutually agree to a longer period of time.
