Guidant
Lisa, my son has a Guidant AICD T135 is the model number. Is there any problem with those?
By the way, You had asked me several months ago for a copy of my nephew's autopsy report. I haven't forgot and hope it's not too late. I have asked my sister in law twice and she says she will get it for me. However, it's not a subject I like to bring up and ask over and over again if you know what I mean...
