FDA ISSUES RECALLS TO DA VINCI ROBOTIC PRODUCTS
In December 2013, The U.S. Food & Drug Administration issued a Class II recall to Intuitive Surgical Inc., the parent of the da Vinci surgical system. The recall of 1386 devices involves friction with the instrument arms that can cause them to stall; thus causing malfunction in the product and potential harm to the patient.
Typically, an FDA Class II recall indicates that a device may cause “temporary or medically reversible” health problems. Furthermore, there may be a remote possibility of serious health problems.
In addition to the FDA recalls, the company has issued two (2) voluntary recalls of numerous parts to the intricate surgical robot. The company estimated that the recalls affect close to 100K components and parts.
The da Vinci machine is used in close to 400K surgeries a year and has reportedly caused many patients serious harm. According to lawsuits filed, the following incidents have been reported:
- Lacerations to internal organs, including intestines
- Burns to internal organs and blood vessels
- Excessive bleeding
- Nerve damage
- Severe Bowel Injuries
- Punctured blood vessels or ureters
- Various Vaginal injuries
- Death
The reported injuries leave Intuitive Surgical Inc. the subject hundreds of lawsuit to be filed throughout the U.S. Over 1000 plaintiffs have signed up with national law firms prosecuting da Vinci claims. However, many of these claims are signed under a “tolling agreement”, which stays the statute of limitations to file a claim. Thus, it is impossible to know how many lawsuit claims Intuitive is facing at this time. Intuitive has reported in SEC 10-K filings that they have reserved $67MM to defend and settle product liability claims. So far, there have been no global settlement discussions in the news media. However, legal experts consulting with Legal-Bay suggest that some cases – if settled- could top $500K.
