When a medical device fails, the patient can be disabled or may die a wrongful death.

A Phoenix medical device recall lawyer at Knapp & Roberts have the experience and understanding to help.

Did an implantable defibrillator fail when it was needed? When defibrillators and pacemakers fail because of manufacturing mistakes or design errors, the person who suffers most is the patient. There are various situations where a defective medical device could be fatal, some of which include:

• A defective pacemaker may not be noticed until it is too late. The patient may suffer a debilitating heart attack that causes permanent injury or death.
• A defective defibrillator implanted in the body can fail to monitor and respond to heart changes. In the worst cases, death can be caused in minutes.
• External defibrillators need to be properly designed, manufactured, and maintained to assure they are available when needed.
