Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) due to rare risk of reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. Affected models include DVPC3D1 with specific serial numbers.
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 certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) that may have reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This rare issue could affect the device's ability to treat heart conditions effectively.
The device uses a glassed feedthrough that can cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This may prevent the device from properly treating heart conditions in rare cases.
People with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) that match the specific model and serial numbers listed in the recall. Those with heart conditions requiring an ICD are most at risk.
Check if your device is labeled as ICD CROME VR MRI IS1 DF1 with model number DVPC3D1. Look for the GTIN 00763000178536 or 00763000178543 and the listed serial numbers.
Verify your device model and serial number against the list provided in the recall notice.
Reach out to Medtronic directly for guidance on next steps if your device is affected.
