Barry J. Maron Maron
A Minneapolis physician, Dr. Barry J. Maron, whose patient died after a defective Guidant defibrillator failed, is among those scheduled to testify. His memos, which make reference to Dr. Maron, were written last May, just after Guidant told the Minneapolis physician that his patient had had a type of Guidant defibrillator that had repeatedly short-circuited because of an electrical flaw. At that time, Dr. Maron and a colleague, Dr. Robert G. Hauser, urged Guidant to alert physicians about the device defect about which the company had known for three years.
