Press Release Summary: The Medtronic Lawsuit Claim and Evaluation Site is designed
to provide information and assistance to Medtronic lead replacement patients.

Press Release Body: New York - The Medtronic defibrillator lead recall lawyers at
Johnson Law Firm announced today the launch of their Medtronic Lead Recall
Information and Claims Filing Center as a resource for patients and personal injury
attorneys around the USA. Patients affected by the recent Medtronic recall of heart
leads can visit the site to receive Medtronic Lawsuit information and claims
evaluations.

The Medtronic Lawsuit Claim and Evaluation Site is designed to provide information
and assistance to Medtronic lead replacement patients who have questions about
possible individual Medtronic lawsuits and Medtronic class action lawsuits on behalf
of patients affected by the Medtronic recall of the Sprint Fidelis defibrillator
heart leads.

"Adequate testing of the Medtronic lead before its introduction into the market
would have revealed the health risks with the device and saved many of these
patients from additional anxieties, and possibly death," says a lawyer of Johnson
Law Firm.

Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Defibrillator Lead Recall is very serious for patients
implanted with the device who have heart rhythm abnormalities and rely on it as a
life saving product. Sprint Fidelis Leads are specific models of cardiac electrodes
(thin wires) connecting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac
resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) directly to the heart. ICDs and
CRT-Ds are meant to protect patients from life threatening heart rhythms. Recently
Medtronic sprint fidelis leads have been recalled because of the potential for lead
fractures. These leads are prone to fracture. This could cause the defibrillator to
deliver unnecessary shock or to stop functioning. Some deaths and other serious
injuries have been reported in which a fracture in a Sprint Fidelis lead may have
been a possible or likely contributing factor.
