LifePak 12 external defibrillators

In a letter made public June 21, 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Medtronic Emergency Response System, a unit of Medtronic, Inc., that its failure to correct manufacturing problems or investigate complaints regarding its LifePak 12 external defibrillators would force the company to face civil and legal penalties. External defibrillators deliver powerful electrical shocks to the chest in order to restore the heart’s natural rhythm.
