Heart Device Maker Thoratec Recalls Implant

The Associated Press reports that heart device maker Thoratec is recalling certain implants after five patients who used these implants have died. Only certain batches of the device have been recalled. The apparent defect is an electrical wire that needs to be replaced.

The recall affects devices with catalog numbers 1355 and 102139, which have been distributed to 153 hospitals and distributors throughout the United States and other countries since the beginning of clinical studies in November 2003.

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
