My husband had his defibulator put in Jan. 2004.His model # is A155. He has been shocked many times and sometimes multiple shocks,He hasn’t really felt well since the devise was put in.generally weak and tired and naushish .He also feels like a walking time bomb. We went to his cardiologist and no events recorded past 3 months. no reprogramming was done and no reccomendations for relacement.If you have a155 and have had difficulty. like my husband, please contact us and advise. Thank you amberdavis44@yahoo.com

I have the device in my chest supposedly to make my heart regulate better! Model K177, I will find the right model at a later time. However, I believe this is the current device that I have. I am interesting in the Class Action Law Suit regarding this matter. I hve been having problems and I intend to discuss this with my Doctor.
