In order to keep this issue from becoming public, it is essential that we take immediate steps to stop using the device and alerting both physicians and patients. We can release a statement or advisory warning of the potential risks associated with using the device, as well as implement product modifications where necessary. Additionally, establishing a review panel with an independent body or organization to look into cases involving serious injuries may help manage damage control in the short-term.
