MEDTRONIC WINS APPROVAL FOR HEART-MONITORING TOOL

August 18, 2005

Medtronic Inc. won U.S. approval of a tool to help cardiologists track heart failure symptoms in patients who use the company's implanted defibrillators. The CardioSight tool, to be used in medical offices, lets cardiologists download 90 days of information on heart functions from the Medtronic devices, using an antenna. A report is then printed out within minutes, Medtronic said today in a statement.
