Pipeline Flex Embolization Device Lawsuit Update: Medtronic’s Pipeline Flex Recall is Class I

The FDA has issued a Class I recall of the Medtronic Pipeline Flex embolization device and the Pipeline Flex embolization device with shield technology.

The company manufactured the affected products from Oct. 22, 2019, to Feb. 1, 2020, and distributed them between Nov. 6, 2019, and Feb. 7, 2020. In total, Medtronic has recalled 822 devices in the U.S.

Medtronic discovered the potential for fracture at the distal section of the instruments due to a weakened bond in a subset of recently manufactured devices. Use of the affected product could result in unintended separation, where the distal portion of the device delivery system remains in the patient. This could lead to significant patient injury, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, neurological deficit, and/or death.

Users are urged to cease the use of any affected products and return them to Medtronic. If an alternative is needed, a Medtronic representative can assist with finding a suitable replacement

I have had many speed bumps to get over on information needed to file my claim that has had me stressing out several times, but once I have gotten in touch with TorHoerman Law I always come out with most of my problems handled. Nikki has been very much helpful in aiding me with my complaint and never lets me go feeling like I’m clueless as to what to do next. She listens and responds very efficiently and with very positive attitude and that’s always helpful. Thanks TorHoerman Law for your advice and support I appreciate all y’all have done for me.

I was in a car accident and went to the Personal Injury Team at TorHoerman Law. I met with Kristie Stephens and she was awesome, keeping me informed of what was going on, what to expect and not to hesitate to call if I need any questions answered. The staff I came in contact over the phone was Kristine Stephens, and she guided me through the whole process. I suggest the Personal Injury Team at TorHoerman Law for anybody that needs help with legal action.
