1

ANS was erroneously sued as “St. Jude Medical,” which is not the complete name of any
entity. “St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation Division” is an assumed business name for ANS, the
manufacturer of the Eon Mini device at issue in this suit. The Court uses the name “ANS” in
place of any reference to “St. Jude Medical” or “St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation Division.”
