David G. Campbell · United States District Court for the District of Arizona · Senior United States District Judge

Finding: The September 25, 2026 order denied a request to end the Lattanzio case before trial because factual issues remained. It did not award a personal payment.

Takatoshi Nakamura · Department of Surgery, Kitasato University School of Medicine, Japan · First-listed author of the PowerPort cohort study

Finding: The 132-person study recorded infections, a kink and leaks, with no observed tube breakage. This small hospital cohort does not decide the cause of another patient’s injury.

The Arizona order checks one person’s infection claim. Facts remain disputed. Look for later court records before treating a trial date as a result.

What court record was checked?

The source is a September 25, 2026 order in the Arizona federal court. It concerns May Lattanzio’s claim. It does not decide every Bard case.

The case sits within MDL 3081. The cited opinion is from Judge David G. Campbell. Keep the court, individual case and order date together when checking a headline.

What changed in the September 25 court record?

The court denied the firms’ request to end that case before trial. Facts remained disputed. This was not a verdict or payment.

The order concerns alleged infection from a silicone PowerPort and applies Florida law to that case. Descriptions of claims remain allegations. They are not findings that every device failed.

Which dates appear in this bounded court log?

The order listed an October 2026 trial at that time. It does not show what later happened. Ask for a later court record.

An upcoming date and a completed trial are different records. Do not replace an unresolved status with a predicted verdict. Your lawyer can explain whether a later order affects your own case.

How many current cases or claims are there?

No current count is verified here. This order concerns a named case. A count needs its own dated source and scope.

Do not treat a docket number as the number of people harmed. A lawsuit count also cannot prove a defect or cause in an individual. This page gives no current national case total.

Does the order set my deadline or payment?

It does not supply your filing date or award. Personal law and facts need review. Ask which rule applies to your claim.

A date for work in an existing case differs from a deadline to start a new one. Bring prior filings and agreements to the lawyer. Do not assume other pending cases extend your time.

Which record should I ask my lawyer about?

Ask for the latest entry in your own case. Compare it with the cited order’s date and scope. Keep an old schedule separate from a later result.

If a firm already represents you, start with that lawyer. Ask what action, if any, is required from you. A public update is not proof that your own suit has been filed.
