Understanding Defective Medical Device Cases

Medical devices include a wide range of products used to:

• Prevent
• Diagnose
• Monitor
• Mitigate
• Treat

Whether the device is an instrument, machine, or implant, it must have approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before going on the market in the United States and being used on patients. FDA continues to follow reports of adverse effects and other concerns even after approval. If there are serious concerns about a device, they issue a warning. If there is evidence the device is defective, FDA sometimes issues a recall. However, companies frequently remove defective devices from the market without an official recall, or they remain on the market, and people continue to suffer injuries. Defective and dangerous medical devices cause a wide range of health concerns, ranging from failing to work, to causing more serious medical problems. Defective medical devices cases that Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. have taken on include:

• Bair Hugger forced-air warming blanket, a device used to help patients remain warm during surgery
• Essure, coils implanted in the fallopian tubes for female sterilization
• Hernia mesh, vaginal mesh, and other mesh implants
• Metal prosthetic hip implants
