Medtronic recalls specific implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRTDs) with model DTPB2Q1 due to rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This could affect device function but is not expected to cause injury.
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 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRTDs) with model number DTPB2Q1. These devices have a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, which could affect their ability to properly treat heart conditions. This is not expected to cause injury but requires monitoring.
The device uses a specific glassed feedthrough that can occasionally fail to deliver energy during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This is a rare occurrence and does not cause injury but may require the device to be reprogrammed or replaced.
People with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRTDs) that have model number DTPB2Q1 and the listed serial numbers or lot numbers. Those with the specific model and serial numbers are most at risk.
Check if your device has model number DTPB2Q1 and serial numbers starting with RTL60 followed by 6 digits (e.g., RTL600234S). The device is also identified by GTIN 00763000178185 and lot numbers listed in the recall.
Identify your device model number and serial number to see if it matches the recalled model DTPB2Q1 and the listed serial numbers.
If your device is affected, contact Medtronic directly for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
