Countless Carolinians have found it necessary to contact a Charlotte
injury attorney because defective medical devices are responsible for millions of
dollars in medical expenses and needless pain and suffering. The FDA takes
medical products, new medications, and new procedures through a process of
rigorous testing before issuing its approval for use by the public. Current budget
constraints and the reality that the FDA is overworked means that it can take
several years in order for products to gain approval. Such delays in getting
the product to market will cost the product designers and manufacturers
millions of dollars. Hence, the device companies have taken advantage of a loop
hole.
Rather than submit their products and devices through the normal
process, some companies can gain FDA approval through a special law that allows
companies to declare that their product is largely equivalent to similar
products that are already approved and available on the market. By using this
loophole, their product is approved for use in the United States by the Food
and Drug Administration. This puts these products in the market without the
clinical testing that products should actually receive.
