Bard IVC filters are designed to block blood clots that form in a patient's legs from traveling to his/her lungs. They are small devices that are implanted surgically when a patient is at risk of pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs).
Problems with the filters breaking apart and releasing small pieces of the filters into patients' bloodstream have encouraged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue a warning to alert doctors about the potential dangers associated with the filters.
According to data published in the August 2010 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, the Bard Recovery Filter system had a failure rate of 25 percent and the Bard G2 Filter system has a failure rate of about 12 percent. Even though the Bard G2 Filter system has a lower failure rate than the Bard Recovery Filter system, it is still causing problems in some patients.
