While we all enjoyed the November month by taking in the beautiful Fall colors and ultimately stuffing our faces with turkey and mashed potatoes, the medical device world was having a less than merry time. Recalls and scandals commanded the headlines keeping us folks wide-eyed with interest. Some of the biggest news related to recalls came from Hospira and Stryker. Hospira was struck with its fifth GemStar Infusion System related recall in 3 years. The FDA recalled Hospira’s GemStar device for potentially failing to deliver electric power to the pump.
