ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO REMAND (Doc. 20)
TIMOTHY S. BLACK, District Judge.
This civil action is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ motion to remand (Doc. 20) and the parties’ responsive memoranda (Docs. 24, 28 1).2
I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL POSTURE
Plaintiffs allege state law causes of action for: (1) negligence; (2) informed consent; (3) battery; (4) fraudulent concealment and inducement; (5) intentional infliction of emotional distress; (6) loss of consortium; (7) strict product liability; (8) strict liability (inadequate warning or instruction); (9) defective design, formulation and/or manufacture or construction; (10) breach of express and implied warranties; and (11) fraud. (Doc. 7). These causes of action are based upon Plaintiffs’ allegations that the Medtronic Defendants improperly and illegally promoted and sold a bone graft device, the Infuse® Bone Grate, for unapproved and unreasonably dangerous surgical applications. (Id.) Plaintiffs contend that because the Infuse® was used in a manner inconsistent with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, Defendants should be found liable for negligent use and promotion of the Infuse® through an off-label manner. (Id. at ¶ 24). Additionally, Plaintiffs allege that as a result of an unapproved surgery performed by the Medical Defendants with the Infuse®, Plaintiff, an infant child, suffered severe and permanent injuries, including seizures, intracranial pressure, and neurological damage. (Id. at ¶ 91).
Defendants removed the case from Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas to the Southern District of Ohio. (Doc. 1). Subsequently, Plaintiffs filed the motion to [676]*676remand, arguing that this case was improperly removed from state court because no federal cause of action exists. (Doc. 20). Conversely, Defendants assert that because the Infuse® is classified as a Class III, FDA premarket approved device under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (“MDA”) to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (“FDCA”), 21 U.S.C. § 360k(a), the case properly belongs under federal jurisdiction.
II. STANDARD OF REVIEW
On a motion for remand, the question is whether the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). Defendant bears the burden of establishing that removal was proper. Long v. Bando Mfg. of Am., Inc., 201 F.3d 754, 757 (6th Cir.2000). Removal raises significant federalism concerns and, for this reason, federal courts must strictly construe such jurisdiction. Merrell Dow Pharm. Inc. v. Thompson, 478 U.S. 804, 808, 106 S.Ct. 3229, 92 L.Ed.2d 650 (1986).3 Accordingly, a federal court must resolve any doubt of its removal jurisdiction in favor of state court jurisdiction. Shamrock Oil & Gas Corp. v. Sheets, 313 U.S. 100, 108-09, 61 S.Ct. 868, 85 L.Ed. 1214 (1941). In other words, the issue is whether the case was properly removed in the first instance. Provident Bank v. Beck, 952 F.Supp. 539, 540 (S.D.Ohio 1996). Specifically, whether the plaintiffs well-pleaded complaint asserts a cause of action created by federal law or depends on the resolution of a substantial question of federal law. Jordan v. Humana Military Healthcare Serv., Inc., No. C-3-06-51, 2006 WL 1207914, at *1, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25845, at *1 (S.D.Ohio May 2, 2006).
Removal of an action to federal court based on original jurisdiction is provided for in 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441(a), 1331 as to: “all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.” Defendants maintain that Plaintiffs’ complaint contains a claim “arising under” federal law. “The ‘arising under’ gateway into federal court has two distinct portals.” Eastman v. Marine Mech. Corp., 438 F.3d 544, 550 (6th Cir.2006). This Court has original jurisdiction if Plaintiffs well-pleaded complaint establishes that either federal law creates the cause of action, or that Plaintiffs right to relief involves the resolution or interpretation of a substantial question of federal law. Id.
The well-pleaded complaint rule provides that “federal jurisdiction exists only when a federal question is presented on the face of the plaintiffs properly pleaded complaint.” Loftis v. United Parcel Serv., Inc., 342 F.3d 509, 514 (6th Cir.2003) (quoting Caterpillar Inc. v. Williams, 482 U.S. 386, 107 S.Ct. 2425, 96 L.Ed.2d 318 (1987)). Because the plaintiff is the master of his complaint, the fact that a claim could be stated under federal law does not prevent a plaintiff from only stating it under state law. Eastman, 438 F.3d at 550.
Although the majority of cases removed to federal court set forth causes of action that plainly raise federal issues, there are three exceptions to the “well-pleaded complaint” that confer federal question jurisdiction when a federal cause of action is not evidenced on the face of the complaint: (1) the artful-pleading doctrine; (2) the complete preemption doctrine; and (3) the substantial-federal-question doc[677]*677trine. Mikulski v. Centerior Energy Corp., 501 F.3d 555, 560 (6th Cir.2007).
Under the artful pleading doctrine, federal question jurisdiction exists when a plaintiff shrouds its complaint with state law claims in order to avoid federal jurisdiction when its claims are truly federal causes of action. See Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of Ontario v. City of Detroit, 874 F.2d 332, 339 (6th Cir.1989). However, rarely will the federal court “seek to determine whether the real nature of the claims is federal, regardless of plaintiffs characterization, [instead] most [removal courts] correctly confíne this practice to areas of the law pre-empted by federal substantive law.’ ” Mikulski, 501 F.3d at 561.
Under the complete-preemption doctrine, federal question jurisdiction exists when Congress has “intend[ed] the preemptive force of a federal statute to be so extraordinary that ‘any claim purportedly based on that pre-empted state law is considered, from its inception, a federal claim, and therefore arises under federal law.’ ” Mikulski, 501 F.3d at 563. The Supreme Court has only applied the complete-preemption doctrine in three areas: (1) Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. § 185; (2) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1975, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461; and (3) the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. § 39.
Finally, under the substantial-federal-question doctrine, federal question jurisdiction exists when “the state-law claim necessarily state[s] a federal issue, actually disputed and substantial, which a federal forum may entertain without disturbing a congressionally approved balance of federal and state judicial responsibilities.” Grable & Sons Metal Products, Inc. v. Darue Eng’g & Mfg., 545 U.S. 308, 314, 125 S.Ct. 2363, 162 L.Ed.2d 257 (2005). More plainly stated, a state law cause of action may arise under federal law where “the vindication of a right under state law depends on the validity, construction, or effect of federal law.” Mikulski, 501 F.3d at 565.
III. ANALYSIS
This Court finds that the substantial federal question doctrine applies to the instant case.
“Where a well-pleaded complaint does not seek relief under federal law, a court may find removal proper if the plaintiffs complaint raises a ‘substantial’ federal question.” Landers v. Morgan Asset Mgmt, Inc., No. 08-2260, 2009 WL 962689, at *5, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 30891, at *17 (W.D.Tenn. Mar. 31, 2009). Under Sixth Circuit and Supreme Court precedent, “the' substantial-federal-question doctrine [has] three parts: (1) the state-law claim must necessarily raise a disputed federal issue; (2) the federal interest in the issue must be substantial; and (3) the exercise of jurisdiction must not disturb any congressionally approved balance of federal and state judicial responsibilities.” Nayyar v. Mt. Carmel Health Sys., No. 2:12ev189, 2012 WL 3929830, at *2, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 128050, at *5 (S.D.Ohio Sept. 10, 2012) (citing Mikulski v. Centerior Energy Corp., 501 F.3d 555, 568 (6th Cir.2007) (en banc), in turn citing Grable, 545 U.S. at 313-14, 125 S.Ct. 2363).
Notably, a district court in Tennessee recently denied remand in a materially similar case also arising from the alleged off-label promotion of the Infuse® device, holding that it “ha[d] jurisdiction” over claims such as those asserted here “under the substantial-federal-question doctrine.” Jenkins v. Medtronic, Inc., No. 2:13ev2004, 984 F.Supp.2d 873, 875-76, 876-78, 2013 WL 6172234, at *1, 2-3, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 165787, at *3, *8 [678]*678(W.D.Tenn. Nov. 21, 2013).4 The Court finds Jenkins to be directly on point and persuasive.5
A. Disputed Federal Issue
The first step in the Grable analysis is to determine whether Plaintiffs’ claims “necessarily raise a disputed federal issue.” Mikulski, 501 F.3d at 568. Since the Infuse® is a Class III, premarket approved device under the Medical Device Amendments (“MDA”) to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), 21 U.S.C. Sections 360(c) et seq., the Court looks to the MDA to examine this first element.
The MDA expressly preempts any state requirement on devices intended for human issue that is “different from, or in addition to, any requirement applicable under [the MDA]” or that “relates to the safety or effectiveness of the devise.” 21 U.S.C. § 360k(a). The only way a state requirement can be exempted from this express preemption is if “the [state] requirement is more stringent than a requirement under [the MDA] which would be applicable to the device if an exemption were not in effect;” or if the state requirement is “required by compelling local conditions;” and if “compliance with the requirement would not cause the device to be in violation of any applicable requirement [under the MDA].” 21 U.S.C. § 360k(b).
The MDA classifies medical devices in three distinct categories: (1) Class I devices, which are subject to the lowest oversight {See 21 U.S.C. § 360c(a)(l)(A)); (2) Class II devices, which are subject to special controls, {See 21 U.S.C. § 360c(a)(l)(B)); and (3) Class III devices, which are subject to premarket approval and the highest federal oversight, {See 21 U.S.C. § 360c(a)(l)(C)). The pre-market approval process for Class III devices requires multivolume applications to be submitted by the manufacturer and approximately 1,200 hours of review for each application by the FDA. Riegel v. Medtronic, Inc., 552 U.S. 312, 318, 128 S.Ct. 999, 169 L.Ed.2d 892 (2008). A device will be granted premarket approval only if “there is a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness,” and if “the proposed labeling is neither false nor misleading.” 21 U.S.C. § 360e(d)(l)(A). The FDA determines the safety and effectiveness of the device:
[679]*679(A) with respect to the persons for whose use the device is represented or intended,
(B) with respect to the conditions of the use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling of the device, and
(C) weighing any probable benefit to health from the use of the device against any probable risk of injury or illness from such use.
21 U.S.C. § 360(a)(2).
Once a device receives premarket approval, the FDA requires the device “to be made with almost no deviations from the specifications in its approval application.” Riegel, 552 U.S. at 323, 128 S.Ct. 999. The only manner for which a device can be modified is for the manufacturer to submit a supplemental application that details the affects the modifications would have on the safety or effectiveness ,of the device. See 21 U.S.C. § 360e(d)(6)(A)(i). After pre-market approval, manufactures are required to submit detailed reports for the FDA’s continuous oversight of the device. See 21 U.S.C. § 360i. The MDA preempts any state-law claim that imposes a requirement that is “different from or in addition to” those imposed by the FDA. Riegel, 552 U.S. at 321-28, 128 S.Ct. 999.6
Plaintiffs must allege an injury that “plausibility arises from the “violation of an identifiable federal standard.” ” White v. Stryker Corp., 818 F.Supp.2d 1032, 1039-40 (W.D.Ky.2011). Therefore, plaintiffs cannot prevail unless they allege and ultimately prove a violation of federal law. Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ claims clearly implicate federal law.
B. Substantial Federal Interest
Next, a federal court may assert federal question jurisdiction over a matter that contains significant federal issues. Grable, 545 U.S. at 312, 125 S.Ct. 2363. Only a complaint (and not a motion to dismiss or answer and notice of removal) can establish federal question jurisdiction, and thus such jurisdiction “cannot be predicated on an actual or anticipated defense.” Vaden v. Discover Bank, 556 U.S. 49, 50, 129 S.Ct. 1262, 173 L.Ed.2d 206 (2009).
The Supreme Court has identified four aspects of a case or an issue that affect the substantiality of the federal interest in that case or issue:
(1) whether the case includes a federal agency, and particularly, whether that agency’s compliance with the federal statute is in dispute;
(2) whether the federal question is important (ie., not trivial);
(3) whether a decision on the federal question will resolve the case (ie., the federal question is not merely incidental to the outcome); and
[680]*680(4) whether a decision as to the federal question will control numerous other cases (ie., the issue is not anomalous or isolated).
Mikulski 501 F.3d at 570. The Court will address each factor in turn.
1.Federal questions are important
While this case does not involve an agency’s compliance with federal statute, it does present important federal questions about federal regulation of Class-Ill medical devices. Plaintiffs concede that “the federal government has a substantial interest in regulating medical devices.” (Doc. 20 at 6). However, Plaintiffs attempt to distinguish that interest from the federal government’s interest in regulating tort claims arising from such devices. While Plaintiffs argue that “common-law causes of action for negligence and strict liability do impose ‘requirements’ ” on medical devices, “excluding common-law duties from the scope of preemption would make little sense.” Riegel, 552 U.S. at 323, 325, 128 S.Ct. 999. Like in Grable, this Court will be required to decide as a threshold question whether defendants violated federal law and therefore this case presents a substantial federal question. See, e.g., Hartland Lakeside Joint No. 3 Sch. Dist. v. WEA Ins. Corp., No. 12-C-154, 2012 WL 1424731, at *5, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 57085, at *15 (E.D.Wis.2012) (substantial federal question existed where, “[a]lthough the elements of the claims asserted by the plaintiffs are governed by state law, the threshold issues that will determine liability require the interpretation of federal statutes and regulations”).
2.Resolution of the federal issue is dispositive
There is no question that resolution of the federal issues in the Medtronic Defendants’ favor would end the case. See, e.g., Jenkins, 2013 WL 6172234 at *6, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 165787 at *18 (resolution of federal questions presented will “dispose of the case when decided upon”).
3.Resolution of these issues will control other cases
Another case implicating very similar issues is currently pending before this Court. See Aaron v. Medtronic, Inc., No. 1:13cv202 (S.D.Ohio Mar. 22, 2013). While the number of cases like this one is likely to be small, because very few medical devices are subject to Section 360k(a), and only a portion of those cases involve allegations of off-label promotion, it is clear that the federal issue presented by this case “is not anomalous or isolated,” but likely to be present in other cases involving medical devices that have received pre-market approval from the FDA. See, e.g., Jenkins, 2013 WL 6172234 at *6, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 165787 at *18 (resolution of federal questions presented by claims arising from alleged off-label promotion of the Infuse® device will “control numerous other cases”); Caplinger v. Medtronic, Inc., 921 F.Supp.2d 1206, 1215 (W.D.Okla.2013) (holding that “off-label promotion allegations do not” alter the fact that claims arising from the alleged off-label use of the Infuse® device are expressly preempted under Section 360k(a) and impliedly preempted under Section 337(a)).
Accordingly, the Court finds that there is a substantial federal interest in the issues raised in Plaintiffs’ complaint.
C. Balance of Federal and State Judicial Responsibilities
Finally, the Court must examine whether a conferral of federal question jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ claims would upset the state-federal jurisdictional balance.
[E]ven when the state action discloses a contested and substantial federal question, the exercise of federal jurisdiction [681]*681is subject to a possible veto. For the federal issue will ultimately qualify for a federal forum only if federal jurisdiction is consistent with congressional judgment about the sound division of labor between state and federal courts governing the application of Section 1331.
Grable, 545 U.S. at 313-314, 125 S.Ct. 2363. There is no bright-line rule in determining the presence of a federal issue because “determinations about federal jurisdiction require sensitive judgments about congressional intent, judicial power, and the federal system.” Merrell Dow, 478 U.S. at 810, 106 S.Ct. 3229. The relevant inquiry is whether there is reason to think Congress would prefer “that the federal questions presented here be resolved by state courts.” State of Michigan v. Bay Mills Indian Cmty., 695 F.3d 406, 413 (6th Cir.2012).
The instant action invokes the MDA because of the categorization of the Infuse® as a Class III device. See Jenkins, 984 F.Supp.2d at 881-82, 2013 WL 6172234 at *7, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 165787 at *20. Congress expressly prescribed the regulation of Class III devices to federal law through the MDA which states that any state requirement that seeks to impose a requirement “different from, or in addition to, and [federal] requirement applicable to the device” will be preempted. 21 U.S.C. § 360k(a)(l). Congress expressly enacted Section 360(k) as a “general prohibition on non-Federal regulation” (H.R.Rep. No. 94-853 at 45). As Jenkins held, “conferring federal question jurisdiction” in cases arising from the alleged off-label promotion of Class III device with premarket approval which necessarily involve “an issue ... closely bound by federal law[,] would have a ‘micro-scop[ic] effect’ on the state-federal jurisdictional balance.” Id., 984 F.Supp.2d at 882, 2013 WL 6172234 at *7 (quoting Grable, 545 U.S. at 315, 125 S.Ct. 2363). Moreover, since Congress “imposed a regime of detailed federal oversight” (Riegel, 552 U.S. at 316, 128 S.Ct. 999), it would be nonsensical to prevent such claims to be removed to a federal forum.
D. Diversity Jurisdiction
Defendants maintain that this case was properly removable based on diversity jurisdiction, despite the presence of non-diverse Medical Defendants.
Plaintiffs “reside in Fairfield Township, Butler County, Ohio.” (Doc. 7 at ¶ 1). Thus, Plaintiffs are citizens of Ohio. Defendant Medtronic is a “Minnesota corporation, with its principal place of business at 710 Medtronic Parkway, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55432.” (Id. at ¶ 38). Thus, Medtronic is a citizen of Minnesota.7 Defendant MSD “is a Tennessee corporation with its principal place of business at 1800 Pyramid Place, Memphis, Tennessee 38132.” (Id. at ¶6). Thus, MSD is a citizen of Tennessee. Defendant CHMC is “located in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.” (Id. at ¶ 2). Thus, CHMC is a citizen of Ohio. Christopher Cordon, M.D. is located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Todd Maugans, M.D., is located in Orlando, Florida. Therefore, Drs. Gordon and Maugans are citizens of Ohio and Florida, respectively.8
[682]*682Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 21 grants the Court discretion to “retain jurisdiction ... by severing claims against nondiverse dispensable defendants.” DeGidio v. Centocor, Inc., No. 3:09cv721, 2009 WL 1867676, at *2, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126887, at *2 (N.D.Ohio June 29, 2009) (citing Newman-Green, Inc. v. Alfonzo-Larrain, 490 U.S. 826, 882,109 S.Ct. 2218, 104 L.Ed.2d 893 (1989)). Factors for the court to consider include: (1) whether claims arise out of the same transaction or occurrence; (2) whether claims present some common question of law or fact; (3) whether settlement of claims or judicial economy would be facilitated; (4) whether prejudice would be avoided if severance were granted; and (5) whether different witnesses and documentary proof are required for separate claims. Disparte v. Corporate Exec. Bd., 223 F.R.D. 7 (D.D.C.2004).
Medtronic Defendants maintain that discretion is properly exercised in cases like this, involving product-liability claims against a medical-products manufacturer and separate medical malpractice claims against health-care providers. (Doc. 1 at ¶¶ 13, 48). Conversely, Plaintiffs maintain that they would be prejudiced by having to pursue separate actions in two different forums because they would expend time, money, and energy, risking inconsistent judgments and factual and legal findings, and the opportunity for each defendant to point the finger at the missing chair at trial.
This Court has authority to allow a dispensable non-diverse party to be dismissed from a case under certain limited circumstances. Pursuant to Rule 19(a), to determine whether or not a party is indispensable a court must perform a two-step analysis. First, the court should consider whether: (1) complete relief cannot be given to existing parties in the defendant’s absence; (2) disposition in the defendant’s absence may impair his ability to protect his interest in the controversy; or (3) the defendant’s absence would expose existing parties to substantial risk of double or inconsistent obligations. Safeco Ins. Co. v. City of White House, 36 F.3d 540, 546 (6th Cir.1994) (“Rule 21 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits a district court to retain diversity jurisdiction over a case by dropping a nondiverse party, if that party’s presence in the action is not required under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19.”). Therefore, while the parties to this action are not completely diverse because Plaintiffs are citizens of the same state as Defendants CHMC and Christopher Cordon, M.D., under Rule 21, “[o]n motion or on its own, the court may at any time, on just terms, add or drop a party.” Fed. R.Civ.P. 21.
If the party is necessary under the first prong of the analysis, the court must then determine whether or not the party is indispensable by considering whether: (1) a judgment rendered in the party’s absence would prejudice the available party; (2) such prejudice could be lessened or avoided; (3) a judgment rendered in the party’s absence would be adequate; and (4) the plaintiff has an adequate remedy if the action is dismissed for non-joinder. Soberay Mach. & Equip. Co. v. MRF Ltd., 181 F.3d 759, 764 (6th Cir.1999).
In the instant case, the Medical Defendants are neither necessary nor indispensable because resolution of the tort claims against them would not resolve the products liability claims against the Medtronic Defendants, and vice versa. Kelly v. Aultman Physician Ctr., No. 5:13ev994, 2013 WL 2358583, at *3, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 75429, at *9 (N.D.Ohio May 29, 2013). Moreover, the claims “involve different legal standards and difference factual allegations.” DeGidio v. Centocor, [683]*683Inc., No. 3:09cv721, 2009 WL 1867676, at *1, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 61412, at *3 (N.D.Ohio July 8, 2009).9 “[T]here are no product liability claims against the Medical Defendants and there are nothing but product liability claims against” the Med-tronic Defendants. Kelly, 2013 WL 2358583 at *2, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 75429 at *5-6. Furthermore, the claims against the Medtronic Defendants involve allegations of violations of federal law, but no such allegations are made against the Medical Defendants.
The mere fact that Plaintiff will be maintaining two lawsuits is not unduly or unfairly prejudicial, and does not require a finding that the Medical Defendants are necessary or indispensable parties. DeGidio, 2009 WL 1867676, at *1-2, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 61412, at 4 (citing Paine-Webber, Inc. v. Cohen, 276 F.3d 197, 204 (6th Cir.2001) (“multiple proceedings and inconsistent results in state and federal court ... can occur whenever joint tortfea-sors are not parties to the same lawsuit. This form of prejudice, however, does not require a finding that joint tortfeasors are necessary or indispensable parties.”)). Accordingly, this Court finds that severing the Medical Defendants will not be “unduly prejudicial.”10
IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons discussed above, the Court sua sponte severs the Medical Defendants and Counts pertaining thereto (See Doc. 7 at ¶¶ 85-116), which are entirely between Ohio residents and entirely dependent upon state law, and REMANDS those claims to the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas. To that extent, Plaintiffs’ motion to remand (Doc. 20) is GRANTED.
Further, the Court retains jurisdiction over the Medtronic Defendants and Counts pertaining thereto (See Doc. 7 at ¶¶ 117-169), as claims between diverse citizens. To that extent, Plaintiffs’ motion to remand (Doc. 20) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
