Intravenous administration of fluids either meant for nutrition, or medication, or the drawing of blood used to be virtually impossible owing to the fact that technology just hadn’t advanced at a sufficient level to allow this to be done on a mass scale, in a manner that was safe and convenient for both the patient and the healthcare provider. However, over the last century or so, medical breakthroughs as well as the industrial revolution and scientific research has made it possible for the medical community to design devices that would make these processes easy, with the Bard Powerport IV device being one of them.

The Bard Powerport comes fitted with a reservoir, a valve as well as a catheter which allows for easy access to the bloodstream: one simply has to make an incision into the patient’s chest area, insert the device inside or near a major vein, after which it can be discreetly hidden and used when a healthcare provider either needs to draw blood or administer medication such as chemotherapy or antibacterial cocktails to the patient. 

Bard Powerport’s selling point lies in its self-sealing mechanism which allows for wound sterility as the valve seals itself once the needle is removed, making it convenient and safe. However, things aren’t as they seem in the medical world, as thousands of individuals have come forward alleging they suffered significant harm after being implanted with the Bard Powerport device, decrying instances of blood clot formation, thrombosis, stroke, heart attack and disease recurrence or progression.

What You Need to Know About Allegations Against Bard Powerport Manufacturers

The legal allegations leveled against the makers of Bard Powerport are serious and damning. That said, we must first understand some legal principles under personal injury tort in order to fully appreciate these allegations. Product liability is a legal principle which is meant to hold manufacturers liable or responsible for the injuries caused by their defective products. 

With regard to Bard Powerport device, it is alleged that the manufacturer designed the product with an inherent flaw, and that the makers did not carry out exhaustive testing to ensure that their product was safe for use, and that they used materials that were not ideal for long-term medical device use, causing them to break down, shatter or malfunction within a very short time. Claims also allege that the Bard Powerport device was not subjected to quality control testing, thereby leading to defective devices being sold on the market. Marketing defects, a subset of product liability, were also proffered, with counsel stating that the device’s makers marketed their product without sufficient warning regarding its risks. Specifically, it is alleged that Bard manufacturers failed to provide sufficient data and information regarding the potential complications connected to the device’s implantation.

Bard Powerport Maker’s Negligence May Have Harmed Patients

Negligence is yet another legal principle that takes up a central role in class action lawsuits. It is stated that Bard manufacturers breached a duty of care to their customers by failing to carry out exhaustive research as well as take the device through clinical trials to single out any possible health risks before releasing it to the market. It is even alleged that Bard was aware of health complications of using their device but failed to take action to protect consumers such as modifying the product’s design or issuing mass recalls. That said, in order to claim negligence with regard to a defective product, one is required to show how the negligent action led to individuals suffering injuries, thereby qualifying to receive money damages; however, damages are only awarded once medical and other forms of vital evidence are provided to corroborate claims. 

Bard Powerport Lawsuits and Failure to Warn

Bard Powerport makers have also been accused of the legal principle of failure to warn, which is something a reasonable business would do in order to keep customers safe. Specifically, it is alleged that the manufacturer failed to sufficiently label their product and that the instructions and labeling which was done did not sufficiently lay out the potential risks associated with the Bard Powerport device. In addition, it is claimed that the manufacturer failed to provide adequate training to healthcare providers which would have helped them have a realistic appreciation of the risks associated with the device’s proper usage.
