Spectranetics Corp. settled a lawsuit with Medtronic Inc., over a technology Medtronic was using, that the company alleges is patented by them.

One of Medtronic's attorney's wrote a letter to a U.S. District Judge in Austin, Texas, saying the settlement was reached on Monday, in a case that involved technology used for sucking deposits out of heart, lungs and blood vessels.

No other details about the settlement were included in the letter, according to Bloomberg News.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Spectranetics had alleged that Medtronic's Export XT 6F model aspiration catheter infringed on a patent it held for catheter devices that remove intravascular, pulmonary and cardiac obstructions.
