WHAT IS A DEFECTIVE MEDICAL DEVICE?
A defective medical device refers to any medical product, equipment, or implant that fails to perform as intended or poses an unreasonable risk of harm to patients when used according to its instructions. Defective medical devices can result from design flaws, manufacturing errors, inadequate testing, or a combination of these factors.
Common types of defective medical devices include:
- Intravenous (IV) Units:Â Devices used for intravenous administration of fluids, medications, or blood products.
- Stents:Â Small tube-like devices inserted into arteries or other vessels to keep them open and improve blood flow.
- Pumps:Â Medical pumps deliver fluids, medications, or nutrients to patients, and defects can lead to improper dosages or administration.
- Heart Valves:Â Prosthetic devices used to replace damaged or diseased heart valves.
- Pacemakers:Â Implantable devices that regulate the heart’s rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscles.
- Dialysis Machines:Â Equipment used to filter and purify the blood in patients with kidney failure.
- Surgical Screws or Plates:Â Implants used to stabilize fractured bones or provide support during orthopedic surgeries.
- Intrauterine Devices (IUDs):Â Contraceptive devices placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- Surgical, Prosthetic, or Cosmetic Implants:Â Various implants used in surgical procedures, including those for joint replacement, breast augmentation, or reconstructive surgery.
- Joint Prostheses (e.g., DePuy Hip Replacements): Artificial joints used to replace damaged or arthritic joints, such as hip or knee replacements.
When such issues arise, patients may experience serious health complications, and in some cases, legal action may be taken against the manufacturers or distributors.
