Medical device injury lawsuit cases can include claims of patients who suffered serious injuries, side-effects or complications from medical devices that may have been defectively manufactured, defectively designed, or defectively marketed with inadequate instructions or warnings.
A medical device is essentially any instrument, machine, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related device intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or any function of the body. Unlike prescription drugs, medical devices do not achieve their primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body. Medical devices include implants and prosthetics, surgical devices, in vitro diagnostics, cardiovascular devices, pacemakers, defibrillators, and stents, among others.
Although many medical devices are safe and can improve patients’ health and/or extend their lives, some may be unsafe and could cause dangerous side effects and injuries, including death. Some medical devices may be the subject of a medical device recall, or had warnings issued regarding their safety. Other medical devices may have been marketed, distributed and sold without sufficient warnings about their dangerous side effects.
