Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-4
File No. 333-121239
Acceleration Request
Dear Mr. Buchmiller:
Medtronic, Inc. requests acceleration of the effective date of the
above-referenced Registration Statement so that the same shall become effective
as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, or as
soon thereafter as possible.
In accordance with the Commission’s letter dated December 23, 2004, the Company
hereby acknowledges that:
•
Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filing;
•
The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
•
The Company may not assert this action as defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
MEDTRONIC, INC.
