The nationwide defective medical device law firm of Kell Lampin, LLC is actively investigating Medtronic® Infuse® Lawsuits. The attorneys of Kell Lampin, LLC have over 30 years of experience in handling serious personal injury claims. The law firm's attorneys are currently providing free, no obligation, confidential case evaluations to persons injured by the BMP spine implant Infuse®.The FDA has issued a public health notification regarding the use of BMP spinal implant, such as the Medtronic® Infuse® bone graft in cervical spinal fusions. In this notification the FDA linked such products to a variety of injuries including:
The Infuse® BMP spinal implant was only approved by the FDA for use in spinal fusion surgeries using an anterior approach (through the front of the body). This approval was limited to the lumbar region of the spine, indicated as L4 – S1). For more information about the FDA findings, visit: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/AlertsandNotices/PublicHealthNotifications/ucm062000.htm
In addition to the reports of such adverse effects, a recent issue of the Spine Journal (June, 2011) indicated numerous problems with the process in which the Medtronic® Infuse® bone graft product was approved by the FDA in the first place. The Spine Journal points to a variety of conflicts of interests between the doctors reporting to the FDA that may have gone unreported.
However, lawsuits are now being investigated across the nation due to information concerning off-label promotion of the BMP spinal implants. In the recent lawsuit of Minneapolis Firefighters' Relief Association et al v. Medtronic Inc et al, U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota, No. 08-06324, as reported by Reuters, it was alleged that as much as 85% of the sales of Infuse® were for off-label purposes. It is alleged that Medtronic® and its sales representatives may have promoted the off-label use of the spinal implant against FDA regulations. The lawsuit has now been settled for $85 million.
