MEDICAL PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIM

Medical Product Liability Legislation

Strict laws govern all medical products, including medical devices. The laws cover everything from how the products were made, the source of the materials used, the transportation methods and the means of sales. These detailed laws were enacted to protect consumers. Medical products must meet a reasonable level of safety before they can be sold or distributed to the general public.

When a medical professional utilises a particular device, they expect that the product is safe. Doctors, hospitals and other healthcare facilities rely on the manufacturer to ensure that the product meets a reasonable level of safety. As a result, they do not personally inspect each and every bio-medical device that they purchase. Defective medical products sometimes find their way onto the market and patients can be exposed to unsafe bio-medical devices.

Types of Medical Product Liability Claims

There are four main types of claims that can be brought regarding defective medical products. One category is defective design, which means that the product is unsafe because the design itself is inherently dangerous. Second, a product can be defective in its manufacture because of a failure of safety control protocol during the production process. Third, a claim can be brought on the grounds that the product's warnings were insufficient to alert the consumer to its potential dangers. Last is "negligent surveillance," which means that the manufacturer discovered that a product already on the market was unsafe but failed to warn consumers.

As you can see, the manufacturer of a medical product has an ongoing duty to consumers and the public. They are responsible for the safety of the product from the time it is manufactured and for as long as the product remains on the market.
