What Constitutes a Defective Medical Device?
A medical device is considered defective when it does not perform as intended, resulting in harm or potential harm to the patient.
This can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as:
- Design flaws: A design defect occurs when a medical device poses an unreasonable risk of injury or harm, even if manufactured correctly.
- Manufacturing flaws: A manufacturing defect happens when an error occurs during the device's production process, causing it to deviate from its intended design and harming patients.
- Insufficient labeling: Failing to provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding the device's use can result in marketing defects. This occurs when the manufacturer doesn't properly inform healthcare providers or patients of the potential risks or side effects associated with the device or doesn't provide correct instructions for its use.
As mass tort attorneys and defective device lawyers, our responsibility is to thoroughly investigate these issues to identify defective devices and determine liability. If you suffered a medical device injury, our firm can work tirelessly to maximize the value of your claim by holding all negligent parties accountable.

Who Is Liable for Dangerous Medical Devices?
Depending on the circumstances, various parties can be liable for defective medical devices.
Common liable parties in defective device lawsuits include:
- Device manufacturers: In many cases, the company that produces and sells the medical device can be liable for defects.
- Medical institutions: Hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare organizations have an obligation to ensure the equipment they use is safe. If they fail to uphold this duty, such as knowingly using a dangerous device during treatment, these institutions can be liable for defective devices.
- Doctors and surgeons: Medical practitioners can be liable in dangerous device lawsuits if they fail to inform patients about the potential risks of a medical device or improperly install the device, causing harm to the patient.
- Testing laboratories: Labs involved in the safety and efficacy testing of dangerous medical devices can be held accountable if they provide misleading or incorrect results, leading to the use of unsafe devices.
- Sales representatives: Representatives who fail to disclose all necessary information or give misleading information about a product can be liable for damages.
- Component suppliers: Companies supplying components or materials used in the manufacturing of a defective device can be liable if their component leads to the device's defect.
