    I think that all of this definitely should, and hopefully is, going through medical device reporting to the FDA. In my opinion, spending money and time to re-test this device is not the responsibility of the company. I think a good example is that older knee implants were not intended for the life spans that people are living. As a result, some people have to get new knee implants. I’m not sure if companies are responsible for paying for this or if companies are required to do additional testing. However, I think finding the answer to this could provide insight to the problem you proposed. To me, the most important factor is transparency and all of this information being communicated and reported. I would feel really uncomfortable if I had this implant in me and was not previously warned about certain activities wrongly affecting it.
