Medtronic recalls specific implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) due to rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. Model DTPC2Q1 with serial numbers listed.
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) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that have a rare risk of reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This could potentially lead to ineffective treatment if the device fails to deliver the necessary electrical impulses to the heart.
The device uses a specific type of glassed feedthrough that can occasionally fail to deliver sufficient energy during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12 joules). This rare issue might cause the device to not function properly when needed, potentially leading to ineffective treatment of heart conditions.
People with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that have the specific model number DTPC2Q1 and the listed serial numbers or GTIN 00763000178260/00763000178284 are affected. Those with these devices are most at risk.
Check if your device has the model number DTPC2Q1 and the listed serial numbers or GTIN 00763000178260/00763000178284. The device is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
Verify your device model number is DTPC2Q1 and matches one of the listed serial numbers or GTINs.
The recall describes a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, which could lead to ineffective treatment. However, this is not a common issue and the risk is low.
Check if your device has the model number DTPC2Q1 and matches one of the listed serial numbers or GTINs 00763000178260 or 00763000178284.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so no action is required unless you have the affected model and serial numbers.
