151 million defective silicon tubes were distributed by Becton Dickinson without their knowledge. When in use, the defective tubes allow medicine to continue to be pumped into the patient. This can result in an over infusion known as “free flow”. The pump does not measure the amount of medicine that is being pumped into the patient. It does not give nurses or doctors a way of knowing the amount of medicine their patients have received. You may be eligible to recover compensation for your damages if you have been injured as a result of an Alaris 8100 infusion pump. To learn more about how to tell if you have a valid claim and the time period you will have to file your claim after being injured, continue reading and reach out to our experienced Texas defective medical device attorney.
