Medtronic recalls certain 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. This may affect devices with specific glassed feedthroughs.
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 potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This could cause the device to fail to deliver necessary shocks in emergencies.
The device has a specific glassed feedthrough that can cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This means the device might not deliver necessary shocks during critical heart rhythm emergencies, potentially leading to life-threatening situations.
People with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough. Most users are unlikely to experience issues, but the rare failure could be serious.
Check your device's model number: CRTD COBALT HF MRI IS1 DF1. Look for the model number DTPB2D1. The lot serial numbers listed in the recall include many combinations starting with RTP600... or RTP601... followed by a number and S.
Identify your device model by checking the label on the device or its packaging. The model number should be DTPB2D1 for the recalled devices.
If your device is listed in the recall, contact Medtronic directly for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
