La Ley de Seguridad de Dispositivos M\u00e9dicos restablecer\u00e1 el derecho de los pacientes a buscar compensaci\u00f3n por lesiones sufridas por equipos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica defectuosos.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u201cCuando se trata de nuestros pacientes, la seguridad siempre debe ser lo primero. Los pacientes deben tener la m\u00e1xima confianza en los productos m\u00e9dicos de los que dependen para mantenerse saludables, dijo Merkley. Necesitamos controles y equilibrios s\u00f3lidos para proteger a nuestros ciudadanos de equipos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica defectuosos y mayores dificultades financieras\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Durante febrero de 2008, en el caso de Riegel v. Medtronic, la Corte Suprema otorg\u00f3 inmunidad a los fabricantes negligentes de equipos m\u00e9dicos defectuosos aprobados por la FDA que causan lesiones a los pacientes. El fallo tambi\u00e9n extendi\u00f3 las protecciones a los fabricantes que no advierten a los consumidores sobre los problemas que descubren con sus dispositivos despu\u00e9s de recibir la aprobaci\u00f3n de la FDA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Por ejemplo, The New York Times document\u00f3 recientemente el caso de Mark Turnidge, un hombre de 33 a\u00f1os que recibi\u00f3 un desfibrilador card\u00edaco defectuoso. Turnidge fue uno de los 235.000 pacientes a los que se les implant\u00f3 el dispositivo. A principios de este a\u00f1o, Turnidge, padre de dos ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os, muri\u00f3 mientras le extra\u00edan el dispositivo m\u00e9dico defectuoso. Si bien el dispositivo fue retirado del mercado en 2007, la esposa de Turnidge, as\u00ed como muchos otros pacientes y sus familias, no tienen ning\u00fan recurso legal bajo la ley actual.<\/p>\n<p>La Ley de Seguridad de Dispositivos M\u00e9dicos, patrocinada por Ted Kennedy, presidente del Comit\u00e9 Senatorial de Salud, Educaci\u00f3n, Trabajo y Pensiones y Patrick Leahy, presidente del Comit\u00e9 Judicial del Senado, aumenta la supervisi\u00f3n y restaura los derechos de las v\u00edctimas de negligencia para que puedan buscar compensaci\u00f3n. por sus lesiones, gastos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y salarios perdidos.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u201cMe enorgullece unirme a los senadores Kennedy y Leahy para apoyar la legislaci\u00f3n para restaurar los derechos de los pacientes que han resultado lesionados por equipos m\u00e9dicos defectuosos\u201d, dijo Merkley. Este proyecto de ley proteger\u00e1 a los pacientes al fortalecer la responsabilidad y alentar a los fabricantes a aumentar la supervisi\u00f3n de la producci\u00f3n de equipos para el cuidado de la salud\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C.
