I tracked down info on the Coratomic Inc. pacemakers: they used slightly
more than 4 Ci each of Pu-238. However, I couldn't find  Coratomic in the
Thomas Register. This suggests they have gone under or have changed
their name.

A minor point, but when I talked to a technical guy at Cordis, he said they
produced the Pu powered pacemakers from 1974 to 1980. He gave no
indication they were produced as recently as last year.
