Monday, February 25, 2008
All cases filed in Federal Courts moved to District of Minnesota
Earlier this week, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation issued a transfer order, transferring all Medtronic Sprint Fidelis cases filed in various federal courts to the District of Minnesota. Mark & Associates, P.C. continues to aggressively evaluate new cases involving recalled Medtronic Sprint Fidelis defibrillator leads. Defibrillator patients can request a free legal consultation by visiting http://www.MedtronicLegalAction.com.
On October, 15, 2007, Medtronic Inc. announced it was recalling its Sprint Fidelis leads from the worldwide market due to a risk of fracture, which can potentially cause a defibrillator to either fail or deliver unnecessary shocks.
The recall involves the following Medtronic defibrillation leads:
* Sprint Fidelis 6930
* Sprint Fidelis 6931
* Sprint Fidelis 6948
* Sprint Fidelis 6949
Most defibrillator and pacemaker patients have an identification card that lists the model and serial numbers of their device and leads. If your device identification card contains the numbers 6930, 6931, 6948 or 6949, it is likely you have a recalled lead. If you are unsure which lead you have, you are encouraged to contact Mark & Associates, P.C. to request a free evaluation.
