The Offering

Issuer

St. Jude Medical, Inc., a Minnesota corporation.

Securities Offered

$1,600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of $900,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 3.25% Senior Notes due 2023, and $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.75%
Senior Notes due 2043.

Maturity

The 2023 notes will mature on April 15, 2023, and the 2043 notes will mature on April 15, 2043.

Interest Payment Dates

We will pay interest on the notes of each series on April 15 and October 15 of each year,

commencing on October 15, 2013.

Interest Rate

The 2023 notes will bear interest at 3.25% per year, and the 2043 notes will bear interest at 4.75%
per year.

Optional Redemption

We may redeem the notes of either series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at the
applicable redemption price described herein under "Description of the Notes -- Optional
Redemption."

Change of Control Offer

If we experience a "Change of Control Triggering Event" (as defined in"Description of the Notes --
Change of Control Offer"), we will be required, unless we have exercised our option to redeem the
notes of each series, to offer to purchase the notes of each series at a purchase price equal to 101%
of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. See
"Description of the Notes -- Change of Control Offer."

Certain Covenants

The indenture governing the notes contains certain restrictions, including a limitation that restricts

our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to create or incur secured indebtedness, enter
into sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our
assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. See"Description of Debt Securities -- Certain Covenants"
in the accompanying prospectus.

Events of Default

In addition to the Events of Defaults set forth under "Description of Debt Securities -- Defaults and
Remedies" in the accompanying prospectus, the term "Event of Default" includes, with respect to
each series of notes, the occurrence with respect to any debt of the Company in an aggregate
principal amount of $75,000,000 or more of (i) an event of default that results in such debt becoming
due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace period)
or (ii) the failure to make any payment when due (including any applicable grace period), which
results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, in each case without such
acceleration having been rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured. See "Description of the Notes --
Events of Default."

Ranking

The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all our other senior

unsecured indebtedness, including all other unsubordinated notes issued under the indenture, from
time to time outstanding. The indenture permits us from time to time to issue an unlimited principal
amount of senior unsecured indebtedness. See "Description of the Notes -- Ranking."

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in the notes involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before deciding whether to purchase the notes. In addition, you should carefully consider, among
other things, the matters discussed under "Risk Factors" in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents that we subsequently file with the SEC,
all of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties we
face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking
statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements."
Risks Related to This Offering
The notes are obligations exclusively of the Company and not of its subsidiaries, and payment to holders of the notes will be structurally subordinated to the
claims of our subsidiaries' creditors.
The notes are obligations exclusively of St. Jude Medical, Inc., and are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries. As a result, our debt is "structurally
subordinated" to all existing and future debt, trade creditors, and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. Our rights, and hence the rights of our creditors, to participate in
any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise would be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except
to the extent that our claims as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized. The indenture governing the notes does not restrict our or our subsidiaries' ability to
incur unsecured indebtedness, to pay dividends or make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase our equity securities, or to engage in highly leveraged transactions
that would increase the level of our indebtedness. As of December 29, 2012, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the offering of the notes and related use of
proceeds as set forth under "Use of Proceeds," our subsidiaries would have had $320 million of indebtedness.
The notes will be effectively junior to secured indebtedness that we may issue in the future.
The notes are unsecured. As of the date hereof, we had no secured debt outstanding. Holders of our secured debt that we may issue in the future may foreclose on
the assets securing such debt, reducing the cash flow from the foreclosed property available for payment of unsecured debt, including the notes. Holders of our secured
debt also would have priority over unsecured creditors in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding. As a result, the notes will be effectively junior
to any secured debt that we may issue in the future.
We may issue additional notes.
Under the terms of the indenture that governs each series of the notes, including the notes offered hereby, we may from time to time without notice to, or the
consent of, the holders of the applicable series of notes, create and issue additional notes of a new or existing series, which notes, if of an existing series, will be equal
in rank to the notes of that series in all material respects so that the new notes may be consolidated and form a single series with such notes and have the same terms as
to status, redemption or otherwise as such notes.
Redemption may adversely affect your return on the notes.
The notes are redeemable at our option, and therefore we may choose to redeem the notes at times when prevailing interest rates are relatively low. As a result,
you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds you receive from the redemption in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on your
notes being redeemed.
We may not be able to repurchase all of the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
As described under "Description of the Notes -- Change of Control," we will be required to offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event. We may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the notes in cash at that time or have the ability to arrange financing on acceptable terms.

3/25/2013 9:09 AM

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/203077/000089710113000421/s...
An increase in interest rates could result in a decrease in the relative value of the notes.
In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will
decline. Consequently, if you purchase the notes and market interest rates increase, the market values of your notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of
market interest rates.
The notes do not restrict our ability to incur additional debt or prohibit us from taking other action that could negatively impact holders of the notes.
We are not restricted under the terms of the notes or the indenture governing the notes from incurring additional indebtedness. The terms of the indenture limit our
ability to create, grant or incur liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions. However, these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. See "Description of
Debt Securities Certain Covenants" in the accompanying prospectus. In addition, the notes do not require us to achieve or maintain any minimum financial results
relating to our financial position or results of operations. Our ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt, secure existing or future debt, or take a number of other
actions that are not limited by the terms of the indenture and the notes, including repurchasing indebtedness or capital stock, or paying dividends, could have the effect
of diminishing our ability to make payments on the notes when due.
Our financial performance and other factors could adversely impact our ability to make payments on the notes.
Our ability to make scheduled payments with respect to our indebtedness, including the notes, will depend on our financial and operating performance, which, in
turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control.
There are no public markets for the notes.
The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. As a result, we can give no assurances that markets will develop for the notes or that
you will be able to sell the notes. If any of the notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices. Future trading
prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions, our financial
condition and performance, as well as other factors. Accordingly, you may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the notes for an indefinite period of
time. We do not intend to apply for listing or quotation of the notes of either series on any securities exchange or automated quotation system, respectively.
