When people see the news about Medtronic's defective defibrillators, it sparks concern and alarm. In an automotive defective products recall, we know the make and model of our cars.

However, most people usually don't know the serial numbers or model numbers of their defibrillators, and will have to research their medical records or speak with the helathcare provider to determine if they have a defective medical device, or potentially defective device. They want to know - is MY defibrillator defective? Is it included in the recall? Sometimes, the fear is unwarranted.
