Helping Georgia Victims of SteriCare Contamination
Patients throughout Georgia have suffered serious infections after exposure to contaminated SteriCare Solutions products. These supposedly sterile saline and water solutions, manufactured by Nurse Assist, LLC, were widely used in hospitals and medical facilities across our state but contained dangerous bacteria that caused severe infections in patients.
Chris Hudson Law Group is investigating claims from Georgia residents harmed by these contaminated medical products. If you or a family member developed an infection after a procedure using SteriCare irrigation solutions between 2021 and 2024, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Our Georgia SteriCare attorneys understand how devastating these preventable infections have been for victims and their families. From extended hospitalizations to permanent disabilities and even loss of life, the consequences have been severe, and Nurse Assist must be held accountable for failing to ensure their products’ safety.
Understanding the SteriCare Crisis
SteriCare Solutions products are saline and sterile water solutions used throughout Georgia medical facilities for irrigation during surgeries, wound cleaning, and various medical procedures. Healthcare providers relied on these products to be completely sterile and safe for direct contact with patients’ tissues and body cavities.
In 2023, Nurse Assist was forced to recall their SteriCare products after the FDA discovered bacterial contamination in these supposedly sterile solutions. Testing identified dangerous pathogens including Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC), bacteria that are particularly threatening to patients with compromised immune systems or chronic health conditions.
The contamination has had severe consequences for Georgia patients. When medical professionals unknowingly used these contaminated products during procedures, patients were directly exposed to harmful bacteria. Many developed serious infections that required aggressive antibiotic treatment, additional surgeries, and lengthy hospital stays. Some patients suffered sepsis, tissue necrosis requiring amputation, and other life-threatening complications.
Medical investigations have confirmed the direct link between SteriCare contamination and patient infections, with identical bacterial strains found in both patient samples and the irrigation solutions themselves.
Health Impacts of Contaminated SteriCare Products
The bacterial contamination in SteriCare Solutions products has caused serious health consequences for Georgia patients. When these supposedly sterile products were used in medical procedures, they introduced harmful bacteria directly into vulnerable tissues. Here are the most significant health impacts:
Contaminated irrigation fluids caused serious infections in surgical wounds and other treatment sites, leading to dehiscence, drainage, and healing complications.
Many patients required additional surgeries to clean infected wounds, remove dead tissue, and address spreading infections from contaminated products.
SteriCare-related infections often led to lengthy hospital stays, with some patients requiring weeks of inpatient care for infection management.
Severe infections progressed to tissue death in some cases, with Georgia patients requiring partial or complete limb amputations to save their lives.
When bacteria enters the bloodstream, patients develop sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition requiring intensive care and carrying significant mortality risk.
These serious health consequences weren’t just unfortunate side effects. They were preventable injuries caused by a company’s failure to ensure its “sterile” products were actually sterile. Georgia victims deserve compensation for these life-changing injuries.
Legal Basis for SteriCare Lawsuits
Chris Hudson Law Group is building strong cases against Nurse Assist based on well-established legal principles. If you’ve been harmed by contaminated SteriCare products, here’s the legal foundation for your claim:
SteriCare products had fundamental defects but were marketed as sterile when they actually contained dangerous bacteria causing serious infections.
Evidence suggests Nurse Assist didn’t perform adequate testing that would have revealed bacterial contamination before products reached patients.
The company appears to have failed in maintaining proper manufacturing standards and quality control for sterile medical products.
Our Georgia SteriCare attorneys can help recover costs for additional surgeries, hospital stays, medications, and ongoing treatments needed due to infections.
