Event Description
The date reported and any periods of time listed are all approximate. I had my right knee replaced. My attorney told me that my medical records indicate the bair hugger warming system was used during the operation. Three weeks later, i got (b)(6) in my knee and was placed in the hospital for about 10 days. I was on strong iv antibiotics for another 6 months at home and had recement in my knee during that period of time, until the infection cleared up. Another operation was done to replace the knee. Prior to the first operation, a nasal swab was done and (b)(6) was detected. Since i had (b)(6) before the original operation, the attorney said i have no legal case against the bair hugger system mfr but that i should report this case to your organization.
