LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2007 - What do the names Pacesetter, Ventritex, MiniMed and Advanced Bionics have in common? Teledyne developed the microelectronic sub-systems of these devices, from first articles to production units. Teledyne Microelectronics Technologies (TMT) announced today it is celebrating its 30th anniversary of advancing the science of human health with ground-breaking design and manufacturing solutions for medical device companies.

"Over the past 30 years, the convergence of medical know-how, improved battery performance, and hybrid microelectronics, pioneered by TMT, have emerged long-term therapeutic implants in the fields of cardiac pacing and drug delivery. From the early stages of implantable cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators, to cochlear devices, drug pumps and ingestible devices, Teledyne has a rich history of fueling medical innovation," said Bruce Gecks, General Manager, Teledyne Microelectronics Technologies.

"Our mission has always been to enable medical device manufacturers to create sophisticated and original products to meet the most challenging clinical needs.
