It seems like there is an issue with a number of different models of
Medtronic Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) batteries. The batteries
can short out and cause the ICD to no longer function as it is supposed to.
If you go to
https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/medtronic they have
the information on this and what you can do about it. There is also a free
case evaluation for those who might have been affected by this. I hope this
may be of help to some.
