Recent News Regarding Pain Pump Cases
Pain pumps can cause serious and permanent injury to the cartilage in human joints, including the shoulder and the knee.
Ambulatory infusion pain pumps treat pain after surgery by delivering a local anesthetic to the site of the surgery through a catheter that is implanted into the surgical wound. Traditionally, doctors treated pain at the surgical site by administering a single shot injection of a local anesthetic like marcaine at the conclusion of surgery and then writing a prescription for oral narcotic pain medication for the patient to use as needed.
Companies began manufacturing these infusion pumps in 1990's. Instead of submitting the pumps to the F.D.A. for pre-market approval, which would require extensive safety testing and clinical trials, the companies obtained F.D.A. clearance by submitting their infusion pump as one based on an existing device manufactured by a competitor company. They performed no tests to determine if it was safe to expose human tissue to a continuous infusion of a local anesthetic for 48 hours or more. They provided no warnings to doctors or patients about any risks of exposing human cartilage to a continuous infusion of local anesthetic for 48 hours or more.
