So, for almost as long, medical device makers have been aching to offer a product in this market. The problem is that these kinds of devices are very intricate and delicate, especially considering the fact that today\u2019s post-surgical patients are usually not in good health and not able to tolerate anything excessively harsh.<\/p>\n<p>DePuy Synthes\u2014a division of Johnson &amp; Johnson\u2014 thought it had the answer with its Sternal ZipFix System. Unfortunately for those patients that had this device implanted in their sternums, this pronouncement assumed that all component parts of the ZipFix System worked properly. Nevertheless, the Food and Drug Administration approved the product in 2012, through the expedited 510(k) process. In 2015, DePuy Synthes voluntarily recalled the dangerous device\u2019s application instrument, but not before hundreds of people were seriously injured.<\/p>\n<p>When medical gadget makers, or any other product manufacturers, put profits before people, the aggressive attorneys at Napoli Shkolnik PLLC stand up for victims. Our experienced lawyers use proven methods to hold companies responsible for the lives they endanger through the reckless pursuit of profits, and that means maximum compensation for victims.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Problemas con el ZipFix<\/h2>\n<p>This dangerous product consists of medical-grade stainless steel zip ties and an application device that resembles a staple gun. The FDA, aware of the device\u2019s potential based on the success of similar devices, quickly approved the ZipFix System.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, inspectors determined that the device had a number of defects that could lead to serious injuries. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simplemente apretando el gatillo del tensor para asegurar las bridas, fue posible cortar el dispositivo.<\/li>\n<li>La tapa del extremo se rompi\u00f3 f\u00e1cilmente durante los procedimientos de rutina, un defecto grave del producto que hizo que el dispositivo fuera completamente in\u00fatil.<\/li>\n<li>Los tornillos pivotales podr\u00edan desprenderse, lo que provocar\u00eda que la tuerca o el resorte cayesen en la cavidad tor\u00e1cica, lo que provocar\u00eda un da\u00f1o tisular grave y una posible falla org\u00e1nica.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>DePuySynthes told the FDA that it had addressed the problems and there was no need for further action, but the problems persisted, and the agency issued a Class 2 product recall on the application instrument.<\/p>\n<p>Many times, especially if the product maker is in a hurry to get their product to market, the manufacturer takes dangerous shortcuts during the assembly process, trims the quality control budget, or both. As a result, errors occur, these errors are not caught, and unsuspecting people are injured.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Abogados tenaces que marcan la diferencia<\/h2>\n<p>El proceso de aprobaci\u00f3n apresurado de 510(k) suele ser una se\u00f1al de alerta, porque la FDA a menudo aprueba los dispositivos que siguen esta v\u00eda. Ese resultado es obviamente el caso con el sistema ZipFix.
