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 patients with specific model numbers and serial lots.
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 affect patients who require these devices for heart conditions.
The device uses a specific type of glassed feedthrough that can occasionally fail to deliver the intended energy during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12 joules). This rare issue may result in reduced or no energy output, potentially affecting the device's ability to treat heart conditions.
Patients with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that have the specific model number DTMA2Q1 and the listed serial lots are affected. Those with these devices are most at risk.
Check if your device has the model number DTMA2Q1 and the serial lots listed in the recall notice. The device is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
Identify your device model and serial lot numbers to see if they match the recalled items.
Reach out to Medtronic directly for guidance on next steps if your device is affected.
