What parts make up a defibrillator?
Defibrillators contain a monitoring device that detects unstable heart rhythms and controls the release of the electric shock, as well as lead wires that are thread throughout a patient’s heart. The shock is carried from the monitor through the wires to specific areas of the heart. Medtronic leads have been recalled due to their failure to release the appropriate electrical shock. If you have been affected by defective Medtronic leads, contact a Medtronic attorney at Williams Kherkher immediately to discuss your legal options.
