Press Release Body: New York: "Medtronic defibrillator lead Patients can access the
latest information on the Medtronic Lead Recall from the FDA and submit inquiries
about claims for compensation to Medtronic Lead Recall Lawyers at the firm." Says a
Johnson Law firm Attorney. Patients with a defibrillator implanted since September
2004 should reference their implant card or contact their doctor to determine if
they are implanted with a defective Sprint Fidelis lead. The Patient ID card for the
affected leads should contain one of the following 4 sets of numbers: 6930, 6931,
6948, 6949.

Defibrillators can be life-saving products for patients with a heart rhythm
abnormality. On October 15, 2007, Medtronic issued a "voluntary market suspension"
to remove its line of Medtronic Sprint Fidelis defibrillation leads from the market.
Medtronic stated that the leads are prone to fracturing which can lead to sudden and
painful shocks at times and can deliver unnecessary electric jolt.

The FDA has advised patients who have had the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead
implemented since Sept 2004 should contact their physicians, especially if they have
multiple shocks, lightheadedness, fainting or palpitation. The Medtronic
Defibrillator Lead replacement surgery is very risky for some patients. However many
of these chronic heart patients are dependent on the device.
