Used pacemakers: who's keeping track?

When a medical device salesman was indicted for selling mislabeled and used cardiac pacemakers as new, no one said how he obtained the devices. The incident raises concerns about the standard procedures used by hospitals for the disposal of pacemakers that may be removed from patients. While each hospital has its own rules for disposals, the Safe Medical Devices Act is changing that by requiring the tracking of pacemakers and other medical devices.

Laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures are rising in popularity and frequency, and surgeons prefer using electrosurgical tools to do those procedures. But the limited visibility in this type of operation and the potential for mishaps with the surgical tools has raised concerns that more accidents might occur during surgery and that physicians and hospitals might face increased liability.
