Medtronic Lawsuit

The SynchroMed El pump, made by Medtronic, has been recalled by the FDA over concerns that its motor is prone to failure. Drug pumps like the SynchroMed El are used to treat everything from pain to cancer. Although no deaths or serious injuries related to the SynchroMed El have been reported, about 8,000 patients currently have the models that are affected by the recall. If the drug pump should fail, patients may die from drug withdrawal effects if not treated.

Medtronic, a maker of products ranging from drug pumps to implantable defibrillators, has been under fire in recent years over allegations that the Sprint Fidelis leads used in some of its implantable defibrillators are prone to fracture and highly dangerous.
