When we think of medical malpractice, we usually think of a doctor or other medical provider making a mistake, such as a negligent surgical error, negligence in treatment or diagnosis, and other such avoidable mistakes that can have long-term consequences for the patient. But some medical malpractice involves medical devices used during treatment.
Medical devices are defined in Florida law as any instruments, implements, apparatus, and machines that are used to diagnose or treat conditions or that may affect the body’s function or structure without chemical action. These can include surgical instruments, implants and prosthetics, and diagnostic tools, among others.
