Formerly   

Physio-Control, Inc. was formerly owned and operated as: Medtronic Emergency Response Systems (ERS). Medtronic is in the process of transitioning Physio-Control to operate as a separate corporation. This transition has not formally completed the necessary government filings which is why they currently operate under the name: Physio-Control, Inc. - Formerly Medtronic ERS

For more than 50 years Physio-Control, Inc., maker of renowned LIFEPAK® defibrillators, has been developing technologies and designing devices that are legendary among first response professionals, clinical care providers and citizens everywhere. Their defibrillators set the standard upon which an entire industry was built. From the beginning, Physio-Control products development was customer-driven. It still is.

Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, Physio-Control products are designed for you, to work like you work. That's why Physio-Control offers a full range of services and complementary products that form an emergency response system.

Medtronic/Physio Control has been released from any and all stop shipments from the FDA as of February 19, 2010.  All Medtronic/Physio Control AEDs will have a delivery time of 45 days starting March 1, 2010.
