Medtronic recalls CRTD DTMC1QQ models with specific glassed feedthroughs that may cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. Affected units have unique serial numbers listed in the recall.
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 may have a rare issue with reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This could potentially affect the device's ability to treat heart conditions effectively.
The device uses a specific type of glassed feedthrough that may cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This could affect the device's ability to deliver necessary shocks for heart rhythm management, but the risk is rare and not immediate.
People with Medtronic CRTD DTMC1QQ models (specifically those with the listed serial numbers) who have the device implanted. Most users are not at immediate risk as this is a rare potential issue.
Check if your device has the model number DTMC1QQ and the serial numbers listed in the recall (e.g., RPL202320H, RPL202797H, etc.). The device is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
Verify your device model is DTMC1QQ and check if it has one of the listed serial numbers (e.g., RPL202320H, RPL202797H, etc.)
If your device is affected, contact Medtronic directly for further instructions on next steps
