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.

Medtronic Defibrillators

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device that is implanted in the chest to monitor for and, if necessary, correct episodes of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). These electronic medical devices are placed in the body to prevent cardiac arrest from severe ventricular tachycardia. Medtronic allegedly knew of the defects in their defibrillators before they were sold for implantation in thousands of patients. read more

Medtronic Defibrillator Cases Given Green Light

On November 28, 2006, the United States District Court, District of Minnesota, found that over 300 plaintiffs may continue their suits as requested, despite Medtronic, Inc.'s motion for summary judgment. In the Court's Order, the Court lays out the case of multiple patients who are suing Medtronic due to defective batteries in their Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators. However, the Court roundly rejected this theory, pointing out that Medtronic's own alleged failure to comply with Congress's self-disclosure requirements may have deprived it of any federal preemption protection whatsoever. read more
