Woman testifies on Capitol Hill over Medtronic device

06/12/2008- A Medtronic defibrillator fails, shocking a Pennsylvania woman more than two dozen times. But even though she wanted to sue the Fridley company, she couldn’t. Thirty-four-year-old Bridget Robb was allegedly shocked 31 times in 13 minutes by the Medtronic device."It felt as if a cannon was repeatedly being shot at my chest at close range," said Robb.When she got to the hospital, she learned the device in her chest had been voluntarily recalled two months earlier. Robb said the Minnesota-based company is responsible, but because she was unable to sue them, she traveled to Capitol Hill.Robb and others testified before a congressional judiciary committee about various faulty medical devices Wednesday. They hoped to convince Congress to reverse a Supreme Court ruling that prevents people from suing the manufacturers of medical devices if the FDA approved of them.The U.S. Chamber of Commerce argued against reversing the ruling, saying it would make it more difficult for companies to provide health insurance.

Medtronic said it sent certified letters to all patients who received the recalled device and their doctors.


 If you or a loved one have had the device replaced or plan to have it replaced you may be entitled to compensation regardless if you suffered as a result of complications from surgery or the device itself.
