Medtronic Lawyers Offering Consultations for Defibrillator Recalls

On February 10, 2005, Medtronic began voluntarily notifying physicians about a battery shorting action that may occur in implantable heart devices.

If you believe you may have a Medtronic device that potentially could be affected by this situation, please call the physician who follows the performance of your device. Your physician is in the best position to assess your care needs. Contact Medtronic attorneys for a free legal consultation regarding your potential heart device litigation.

ICDs are implantable devices that treat rapid, life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances originating in the lower chambers of the heart that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest.

CRT-Ds are implantable devices used to treat heart failure and life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances. They deliver electrical impulses to coordinate the pumping of the heart’s two lower chambers to improve heart failure symptoms and defibrillation to correct dangerous heart rhythms.
