Medtronic Defibrillator
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (IDCs) are devices which can be implanted in the chests of heart patients to monitor and regulate irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) by generating electrical pulses. Medtronic Inc., a manufacturer of IDCs, recalled two device models in 2004 which had been linked to instances of death and serious injury. In 2005 the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the company was recalling additional devices with rapid battery depletion resulting in malfunction. This recalled effected four devices, two models of ICDs and two models of cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds.) All federal court cases against Medtronic have been consolidated under a single judge.
