A Day in the Life

At Medtronic, we strive without reserve for the greatest possible reliability and quality in our products and processes. To help ensure our patients safety and health, we closely monitor and report on our products’ performance. The Technical Services department in Heerlen is responsible for addressing clinical/technical product inquiries for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
