Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model DTMC2QQ that may have reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, potentially causing treatment failure.
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 (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that may not deliver proper energy during high voltage therapy. This could lead to treatment failure if the device is used without the recall fix.
The device uses a specific type of glassed feedthrough that can sometimes fail to deliver energy during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This may cause the device to not work properly when needed, potentially leading to treatment failure.
People with Medtronic CRTD DTMC2QQ models who have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator. Most users are likely to be safe as the risk is rare and only affects specific models.
