Most people are under a false notion that if a medical device has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, then it is safe but that’s not always the case. Sometimes, medical devices can be the cause of an injuries. This can happen if the product is defective or not labeled or formulated correctly. Sometimes, certain medical devices can react adversely with existing medical conditions producing dangerous side effects. Certain medical devices pose health risks to certain persons. Manufacturers of medical devices have an obligation to test the product for such dangers. They must warn users of any potential danger associated with the use of the product. There are three types of product defects – design defect, manufacturing defect, marketing defect. A design defect happens when the product is not safe for its intended use. Design defects are in a manner of speaking, intended. This type of defect is inherent in the design of the product. A manufacturing defect is a defect which happens during the manufacturing process. It is different from a design defect. Marketing defect is the failure of the manufacturer to warn the use of danger or provide proper instructions for use of the product. Marketing defects are defects in the manner in which a product is sold.
