What Will a Denver Defective Medical Device Attorney do to Help?
Defective medical device cases can become complicated, often because there is a blurred line between whether or not these claims are faulty product cases or medical malpractice cases. An attorney can use their resources to conduct a complete investigation into the case. This will include obtaining various types of evidence, such as:
- All documents related to the medical device
- The medical records of the patient/consumer
- All doctor’s notations related to the medical device and why it is used
Additionally, an attorney may need to work with trusted doctors and medical device experts who can conduct a complete evaluation of the patient and the device. All this information will need to be presented to insurance carriers, legal teams, and possibly a jury.
Defective Medical Devices Can Cause Severe Injuries
Every medical device in the United States has to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before it can be sold or used by consumers for medical professionals. The FDA lists three classes of devices that require inspection and approval:
- Class 1 Devices. These include low-risk devices such as bandages, walkers, wheelchairs, and basic surgical instruments.
- Class 2 Devices. These are considered intermediate-risk devices, and many of these are considered moderately invasive, though they may not necessarily be implanted inside of a person’s body. Some of the most common Class 2 devices include insulin pumps, IV infusion pumps, CT scanners, etc.
- Class 3 Devices. These are considered the highest risk medical devices, and they undergo extensive testing before they can be used on patients. In general, these devices are considered invasive and are usually implanted inside of a person’s body for life-sustaining purposes. Some of the most common Class 3 devices are pacemakers, heart valves, deep brain stimulators, spinal cord stimulators, etc.
Any time a medical device is defective, it could cause significant patient harm. A recent study conducted over a ten-year period showed that defective medical devices caused more than 80,000 deaths in the US.
