Welcome to Pritzker | Ruohonen
MEDTRONIC LAWYER AND ATTORNEY
Pritzker | Ruohonen is representing clients injured by defective Medtronic defibrillator leads. Several of our clients were shocked numerous times before their defibrillators were turned off. The firm has a national reputation in the area of product liability, and lawyers at the firm have been interviewed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Lawyers USA and other publications. To contact the firm, please call 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free), e-mail our managing Medtronic Lead lawsuit attorney, or submit our free case consultation form.
Medtronic Inc. has removed its Sprint Fidelis defibrillator leads from the market because they may fracture. Defibrillators are used to treat abnormal heart rhythms that can cause the heart to stop suddenly. They shock the heart back into normal rhythm by sending a pulse of energy through an electronic wire or lead that is connected to the heart. A defibrillator lead connects the defibrillator, which is implanted near the shoulder, to the heart. If a lead fractures, it may send false signals to the defibrillator, causing the defibrillator to deliver unnecessary shocks or, in some cases, not to pace or shock when needed. Read about the Medtronic Defibrillator Lead recall.
We represent people who were shocked multiple times when their Medtronic defibrillator leads fractured. The uncontrollable shocks continued until they arrived at emergency rooms where medical professionals could turn the defibrillators off. Two of our clients were shocked over twenty times.
"Cardiologists prefer defibrillator leads that are more flexible, which means thin and more likely to fracture. In an effort to capture more of the market share, Medtronic went too far. Medtronic Sprint Fidelis leads are so thin that they are fracturing at twice the rate of other defibrillator leads. Now Medtronic consumers are paying the price," stated Medtronic attorney Elliot Olsen.
If you are interested in being represented in a Medtronic lawsuit, please contact Elliot Olsen, our managing attorney for the Medtronic recall cases, or another Medtronic lawyer at the firm. To contact Elliot, please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm’s online consultation form.
