New rules for manufacturers of medical device implants

Petition Details

We believe it should be made illegal for manufacturers of medical devices implanted into patients to regularly charge the patient for upgrades or maintenance.

Additional Information

We also believe it should be a legal requirement that if the manufacturer goes out of business, all the Intellectual Property (IP) - both hardware and software - for the device must be made public.

We believe no one, and no company, should be allowed to essentially charge rent for any implant that is placed inside a person's body, and people should not be left with a device that cannot be maintained if its manufacturer goes bankrupt.
