This is indeed good news. My wife’s Medtronic pacemakers only lasted 5 years last time and the replacements have 3 years on them. It was 80K $ to replace them last time...
Unfortunately now that we have death panels, she probably won’t get another set.
Only $29.99....................
I’m actually a bit surprised that device manufacturers haven’t devised a through-the-skin, inductive charger to eliminate the surgery required for battery replacement.
