Medical Device Errors

People rely on medical devices every day to treat complex medical conditions. While many patients see positive results from the use of these devices, like any technology, errors can occur. When these errors occur, a patient may suffer serious complications or even death.

Some of the most commonly used medical devices include:

  • Pacemakers
  • Shunts
  • IUDs
  • Ventilators
  • Breast Implants
  • Hip and Knee Replacements*
  • Dialysis Filters
  • Stents

*In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics, a division of Johnson & Johnson, recalled over 90,000 DePuy ASR hip replacement systems due to their high failure rates.  Patients who received these hip impants may have a case that entitles them to compensation.  Contact us to discuss your potential DePuy hip implant recall lawsuit.
