Dr. Cl?ona Murphy:

In retrospect, what was possibly the problem is not so much the medical device in itself but its widespread use, what indications there were and the counselling and other options that were given to people, as opposed to a particular device being unsafe in itself. I think that would be fair to say. The responses in the different countries would seem to indicate that the safety measures put in place involved tightening the controls and the indications for that, as opposed to being more indiscriminate.
