Medical equipment is used every day by various medical professionals in many types of medical care facility, such as hospitals, dental surgeries and GP surgeries. Whilst the majority of procedures involving medical equipment are carried out without issue, things can and do go wrong.
There are strict safety standards and testing processes in place for manufacturers regarding medical equipment under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Act states that all products must be “fit for purpose”, be of satisfactory quality, and fit their description. Equipment should also be correctly maintained and health professionals using the equipment should receive appropriate training in order to use the equipment. Where these standards have not been met and you are injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation for your injury and loss.
When is medical equipment deemed to be faulty?
The majority of medical equipment and devices used throughout Scotland will meet the required standards. However, on occasion, a medical device, or piece of medical equipment could be defective, or may not meet the appropriate standards, which can result in significant harm, and long-term damage. This can occur if there has been a fault during production, where there has been a failure to carry out regular maintenance and service checks, or a failure to sterilise equipment.
There is a three-year time limit to raise legal proceedings where defective medical equipment has caused you injury. It is therefore essential that you seek expert legal advice as soon as you can.
