Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model DTMC1D1 due to rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy.
There is a rare potential for reduced- or no-energy output during high voltage (HV) therapy (typically 0-12J) in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific (glassed) feedthrough, including currently available ICDs and CRT-Ds.
Medtronic is recalling specific implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model number DTMC1D1. This recall is due to a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, which could affect the device's ability to treat heart conditions.
The device uses a specific glassed feedthrough that can cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This rare issue may prevent the device from delivering necessary shocks to treat life-threatening heart rhythms.
People with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model number DTMC1D1 are affected. Those who have the specific lot and serial numbers listed in the recall are most at risk.
Check your device's model number and lot/serial numbers. The recalled devices have model number DTMC1D1 and specific lot/serial numbers listed in the recall notice (e.g., RPW200770H, RPW600177S).
Identify your device's model number and lot/serial numbers to see if they match the recalled items.
Reach out to Medtronic for guidance on whether your device is affected and what steps to take next.
This is a rare potential issue that could cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, but it does not pose an immediate risk to most users.
Check your device's model number and lot/serial numbers against the list provided in the recall notice.
