Stocker 3T Infection Recall And Lawsuit

progress-1807541_1920
The Stocker 3T Heater-Cooler System is used to regulate body temperature during heart surgery. It regulates body temperature by using a closed-water circuit. The United States FDA has released a statement saying that Stocker Heater-Cooler System has been linked to nontuberculous myobacterial infections. The risk of developing an infection is between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000. There have been several lawsuits filed against the makers of the Stocker 3T seeking compensation for injured patients.

Stocker 3T Complications And Side Effects

The reason that Stocker 3T has been linked to Mycobacteria is because this bacteria requires water to grow. Even though the water never comes in contact with the patient, studies have shown that the water can turn into gas. The bacteria can be spread through the air and end up in the patient's body cavity.

According to the Center For Disease Control, people have a one percent chance of developing an infection from the Stocker 3T during surgery. It can take awhile for the infection to develop. That is why a person may not notice symptoms for several months. In fact, some people do not notice any symptoms for years.

Some of the symptoms that one may notice if he or she has a Mycobacteria infection include a fever that lasts for more than one week, breathing problems, nausea, vomiting, joint pain, muscle pain and loss of energy. It is estimated that half of the people who develop this infection will die from it. Thirty cases of Mycobacteria infections were reported from 2010 to 2015.

Treatment

This infection can be difficult to treat, which is why 50 percent of people will die from it. It can also be extremely difficult to treat this infection. Doctors have to prescribe strong antibiotics to treat this condition.

Stocker 3T Recall And Lawsuits

The Sorin Group started a recall in June 2015. The CDC issued a safety notice in October 2015. The FDA sent out a warning letter in June 2016 stating that the facilities that manufacture Stocker 3T were found to have the Mycobacteria. They recommend that hospitals that use the Stocker 3t follow up regularly with their patients.

Many people have started to file lawsuits against LiveNova, which is Stocker 3T's manufacturer. One person filed a lawsuit on behalf of their loved one who died from the Mycobacteria infection. More lawsuits are expected to be filed as more hospitals warn people of the dangers of the infection.

Zadroga Reauthorization Act Helps 9/11 WTC Victims

new-york-1332377_960_720

After years of intense lobbying and debate in Washington, Congress has extended vital protection to victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by passing the Zadroga Reauthorization Act.

The Zadroga Reauthorization Act serves two important functions. First, it provides full funding for the World Trade Center Health Program for another 75 years. This means that the program essentially becomes permanent for anyone who is currently or who will become ill as a result of exposure to toxic substances at Ground Zero.

The act also fully funds all current and future claims to the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund until it closes in 2021. Individuals may be eligible for compensation from the fund if they are diagnosed with a qualifying injury or illness. Claimants receiving award letters should receive their compensation within a few months of getting their award letter.

The act also stipulates that claims are not resolved until the compensation fund closes. Individuals receiving an award may be eligible for additional compensation if they experience a chance in personal circumstances or are diagnosed with a new eligible injury or illness.

• A person with a pending claim can supplement their claim for a higher amount if they are diagnosed with a new illness.
• Individuals with no previous claims can still file a claim if they are diagnosed with a new eligible illness.
• A person can bring a claim for a new illness even if they have already received an award for another illness.
• An individual who can no longer work as a result of a new or existing eligible illness can submit a claim for lost wages even if they have already received an award for the illness.
• The surviving family of a person who dies as the result of an eligible illness can receive compensation even though there was a previous award for the illness.

If you or a loved one is ill or may become ill as a result of toxic exposure at Ground Zero, it is important to enroll in the World Trade Center Health Program as soon as possible. The program offers free health care and is the easiest way to have injuries certified for compensation.

New Lawsuits being filed over Xarelto

New Xarelto Lawsuits are being filed over side effects. The makers of Xarelto have stated that the drug is safe and effective. Coumadin, Warfarin and other blood-thinners can be reversed with vitamin K. However, vitamin K does not work if the person is taking Xarelto. Plaintiffs have stated that Xarelto caused them to have gastrointestinal bleeding and cerebral hemorrhaging.

The lawsuits also allege the following:

*Xarelto was marketed as being superior to other anticoagulants.

*The makers lied about the safety of this drug.

*The manufacturers did not warn about all of the dangers of this drug.

*Xarelto can cause eye bleeding, brain hemorrhaging and excessive blood loss.
