Medtronic recalls certain CRT-D DTBC2QQ BRAVA QUAD IS4/DF4 INTL devices with specific serial numbers due to rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This may affect device function but is not a common issue.
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 models of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that have a rare risk of reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This could potentially cause the device to fail when needed, but the risk is very low and not common.
The device uses a glassed feedthrough that can occasionally cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This may lead to the device failing to deliver necessary shocks in emergencies, but the risk is very low and not common.
Patients with Medtronic CRT-D DTBC2QQ BRAVA QUAD IS4/DF4 INTL devices manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough are affected. Most users are not at risk as this is a rare issue.
Check your device model and serial number. The recalled devices have the model number DTBC2QQ and specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice (e.g., BLX611513S, BLX610983S).
Identify your device model and serial number to see if it matches the recalled list.
If your device is on the recall list, contact Medtronic directly for further instructions.
