The troubles with 510(k)-cleared Profemur hip implants continue. This is a prime example of why 510(k) clearance should be a LIMITED EXCEPTION, not a rule for implantable devices! @US_FDA @FDADeviceInfo kffhealthnews.org/news/article/p…
What fresh hell is this, asking patients TO MONITOR A #MEDICALDEVICE THEY USE WHILE SLEEPING for overheating/fire?! Add a smoke detector on your CPAP machine, I guess? Why do we have an #FDA? This is embarrassing, y'all. #DoTheRightThing?

More modifications to high risk devices = more recalls of those devices. Who would've guessed THAT? 🙄 ~10% of U.S. residents will have #medicaldevices implanted during their lifetime, and physicians should be aware of this association! #patientsafety medpagetoday.com/publichealthpo…
Did you know companies aren't required to provide a full list of the materials in their #medicaldevices? We think this is wrong! If you have new-onset problems after being implanted w/ a device, consider LTT testing like @MELISA_test for these metals & alloys.
The #FDA stated on Thursday that several Exactech joint replacement #medicaldevices were packaged in defective bags. Patients are recommended to contact their healthcare providers about any pain, swelling, weakness, grinding, noise, etc. #patientsafety medpagetoday.com/orthopedics/or…
Thanks to @WRAL for this segment on the struggles for women who need to have recalled #breastimplants removed, but why no mention of the recent @US_FDA statement regarding the risks of OTHER types of cancers due to these #medicaldevices? @abbvie wral.com/women-struggle…
Ah, yes, good ol' @Medtronic, up to their usual #DirtyDeeds with complicit doctors to perform unnecessary procedures so they can sell #medicaldevices that cost $15,000 each and experiment on unwitting low-income minority patient populations. #PatientSafey latimes.com/business/story…

For those of you that have received an implanted medical device, did you receive an implant card which listed your device’s unique device identifier? The UDI acts almost like the VIN on your vehicle and is used to relay important recall information.
