Cyberonics and NCP Litigation
Cyberonics, Inc. manufactures a device called a NeuroCybernetic Prosthesis (NCP) System, which is a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS). The device was approved by the FDA in July 1997.
The NCP device is used to treat some forms of epilepsy. The device is implanted into the chest of a patient, and an electrode is attached to the vagus nerve in the patient's neck. At periodic intervals, a small electric charge is delivered to the nerve. This charge is supposed to help control and reduce the severity and frequency of epileptic seizures.
On March 23, 2001, the FDA sent a warning letter to Cyberonics, Inc. for failing to properly record and report 83 deaths and 116 infections associated with their NCP system. They also failed to investigate and evaluate the cause of these events.
