Are Irish Children Affected By Scoliosis Spinal Rod Recall?

Are Irish Children Affected by Magec System Model X rod recall? Lynch Solicitors

On the 13th of February last, US manufacturer NuVasive issued a Product Recall of  the Magec System Model X rod and as a result, an audit is underway to identify Irish children with severe scoliosis who were fitted with a particular type of titanium spinal support rod, which may now need to be removed.

Are Irish Children Affected by this Recall?

The number of Irish patients affected is not yet known, although it has been confirmed that the product has been in use in this jurisdiction since mid-2017.

The Product Recall notice was issued when it was discovered some had experienced the separation of an end-cap in the mechanism, potentially exposing some of its internal components, including alloy debris.

What is the System Model X Rod Used For?

The Magec System Model X rod is used to treat children who suffer from rare, severe, progressive spinal deformities (such as early onset scoliosis) and the system was designed to allow for external lengthening of rods using magnets, as the child’s spine develops, without the need for multiple surgeries.

Who Can I Contact If Affected By This?

The area of product recalls is complex litigation and we at Lynch Solicitors are actively involved and experienced in product recall litigation such as the Depuy ASR Hip recall cases and the GlaxoSmithKline Pandemrix product liability claims.

Get In Touch With Us

If you have an issue regarding the Magec System Model X rod, then please get in touch with us by contacting us on 052 61 24344 or by emailing [email protected]

The Ana Kriegel case has once again highlighted the need for Defamation Law awareness after a boy was wrongly identified as one of the teenager’s killers, with his picture and personal details shared online and on various messaging apps.

While the internet and the use of social media has given us a world of content and freedom, with that comes the risk of defamation.

All the time in the World – Statute of Limitations

The Statute of Limitations sets out the length of time a person has to make a claim as a result of an action or omission that gives rise to the claim.

Once the specified time has passed an action can no longer be brought.

The logic is grounded on common sense principles: after a certain length of time it is impossible to get accurate evidence – be it witnesses, people’s recollection etc. and the threat of legal action cannot hang over a person for an indefinite time.

Therefore, the law stepped in with the concept of the Statute of Limitations.

Time Limits in Medical Negligence
