Faulty and Defective Medical Devices May be the Cause of Tens of Thousands of Deaths Each Year – Do You or Your Loved One Have a Product Liability Claim?

Faulty Medical Devices Can Be A Source of Product Liability

According to research compiled by PharmaMedDevice.com and AdvaMed, the medical device market in America is estimated to be almost $90 billion dollars and well over $200 billion dollars across the world.

The organization that handles these devices is the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. This agency actually oversees all of the manufacturing companies that make these devices or implants and who assume product liability.

Some of the most common medical devices that are used by doctors and hospitals today:

  • Anesthesia ventilators
  • Apnea monitors
  • Argon enhanced coagulation units
  • Aspirators
  • Auto transfusion units
  • Invasive Blood pressure units
  • Fetal monitors
  • Electrosurgical units
  • Incubators
  • Infusion pump
  • Pulse oximeters
  • External pacemaker
  • Heart Lung Machine
  • ECG
  • EEG
  • Treadmills
  • Ultrasound sensors
  • Phototherapy units
  • Endoscopes
  • Surgical drill and saws
  • Laparoscopic insufflators
  • Phonocardiographs
  • Radiant warmers (Adult)
  • Zoophagous agents (e.g., medicinal leeches; medicinal maggots)
  • Lytic Bacteriophages
  • Electronic thermometer
  • Breast pumps
  • Surgical microscope
  • Ultrasonic nebulizers
  • Sphygmomanometers
  • Surgical table
  • Surgical lights
  • Temperature monitor
  • Aspirators
  • X-rays diagnostic equipment

Of course there are many more products that are used in a hospital every day and new items are being created each year. There are also medical devices that are used inside a patient's home. All of these devices must follow guidelines set forth by the FDA before they are released to the market.

According to the Human Factors MD, 98,000 people die due to medical errors each year. Many of these cases involve faulty medical devices and defective medical equipment. The estimated cost of such errors is generously estimated to be about $24 billion dollars. And these are the product liability claims that actually make it through the system.
