Derika Moses accused the hospital of letting surgeons use allegedly imitation metal screws in a spinal fusion surgery. She had to have the implants removed five years after her initial surgery, and her attorneys sought more than $2 million in damages.
Ms. Moses’ attorneys said the company behind the screws, Spinal Solutions, was cut off by its supplier and got screws from a private manufacturer that allegedly used fake branding. However, the hospital’s attorneys argued the FDA never found that the screws were counterfeit and that Ms. Moses consented to the procedure.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
