If you were taking Coumadin (Warfarin), and experienced an uncontrolled bleeding event after your Alere INRatio® or INRatio2® PT/INR Monitor System and INRatio® Test Strips reported your International Normalized Levels (INR) levels were normal, then this may be the most important message you will ever read...
Here is why...
Lawsuits are being filed across America right now because of a recent recall and FDA warning that the INRatio® device has been found to give defective readings for patients, causing many to experience serious, adverse health consequences... most notably, uncontrolled bleeding.
On April 16, 2014, Alere Inc. recalled certain Alere INRatio2® PT/INR Professional Test Strips because it was discovered that many patients had received a therapeutic or near-therapeutic INR reading when using the INRatio2®, but had a significantly higher INR when tested by a central laboratory with more accurate monitors.
Additionally, Alere Inc. issued a second recall for the Alere INRatio® and INRatio2® PT/INR Monitor System, stating that the system should not be used by patients who have many underlying acute or chronic conditions, such as anemia, bleeding or bruising, infections, arthritis, crohn's/colitis, and many more.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made a public announcement that both the INRatio® Monitor and Test Strip recalls should be classified as a Class I Recall.
This is the strongest possible warning the FDA uses when reporting a product recall and safety alert. A Class I recall is defined by the FDA as, "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequence or death."
The current Alere lawsuits are being filed by patients who took Coumadin (Warfarin) and who used the Alere INRatio® monitor device and test strips at home to monitor their Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR)... which is a measure of how quickly a patient's blood can clot.
The Alere INRatio® monitor was found to give false INR readings -- showing normal (or near-normal) INR levels (when in fact they were not) -- and these patients experienced adverse bleeding events because of the misreported INR levels that showed nothing was wrong, when in reality, the patient's INR was at a dangerous level!
If you used the INRatio® or INRatio2® PT/INR Monitor System or Test Strips and you experienced an adverse health consequence, such as an uncontrolled bleeding event (after the monitor or test strips reported your INR levels were normal) you may be eligible to seek financial compensation through a lawsuit.
As a victim of an adverse health event, due to the faulty reporting of the INRatio® system, you are entitled to legally seek money damages to recoup any medical costs, unpaid leave from work, and for general pain and suffering having fallen victim to a defective medical device.
And it is in your best interest to pursue an Alere INRatio® lawsuit immediately...
Each state has laws called the "Statutes of Limitations", which effectively limits the timeframe in which a victim can file an injury claim.
If you fail to file a lawsuit against Alere Inc. within your state's time constraints (before the statute of limitations expires), you will FOREVER be denied the right to bring an injury claim against Alere Inc. for their recalled medical device.
So please know... acting swiftly and quickly is absolutely essential to ensure you are eligible to seek money damages for the adverse health event(s) that you experienced because of the faulty Alere INRatio® Monitor and Test Strips.
You will want to talk with a lawyer that handles "Defective Medical Device Liability" cases, as they are most familiar with how to get their clients maximum compensation for their injuries.
A lawyer can file a lawsuit on your behalf and completely manage the legal process of discovery of facts, settlement negotiation, and/or litigation at the court level.
A medical device attorney can easily explain all that is involved, and how easy and risk-free it is to participate in an Alere INRatio® lawsuit if you have been affected.
