                        <![CDATA[  <P>Class counsel announced today that heart patients nationwide implanted with recalled defibrillator leads filed separate lawsuits in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, against the manufacturer Medtronic Inc., and related companies. Each plaintiff received a cardiac pacemaker/defibrillator combination that was attached to their hearts with a lead wire system manufactured by Medtronic and sold under the brand name Sprint Fidelis. In the case of three of the patients, the Sprint Fidelis lead fractured or frayed, necessitating additional surgery to remove the device and implant a new lead system. The plaintiffs are residents of California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York and Oregon. (Billboard Publicity Wire Oct 15, 2007)</P>
