Each year billions of dollars are spent on creating and manufacturing medical devices. The rapid growth of this industry has enabled numerous Americans from Chicago to San Francisco to improve their health and quality of life. But what happens when the medical device you rely on is defective? The results can be devastating and even result in death.

Medical device failures can arise from any type of medical device being used, from a pacemaker, stent, or dialysis machines. Below are some devices that have recently been recalled by the manufacturer:

• Guidant Corp. pacemaker and defibrillator
• Medtronic implantable infusion pumps (Neuromodulation SynchroMed EL, SynchroMed II, and IsoMed)
• Boston Scientific NexStent Monorial, Carotid Stent and Delivery System
