Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRTDs) with model DTMA2QQ that may have reduced energy output during high voltage therapy, potentially causing ineffective treatment. Affected units have specific 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 (CRTDs) with model number DTMA2QQ that may have reduced energy output during high voltage therapy. This could lead to ineffective treatment in some cases. The recall includes specific serial numbers listed in the official notice.
The device uses a specific glassed feedthrough that can cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This may result in ineffective treatment of heart conditions in some cases, but the risk is rare and not a direct safety hazard.
Patients with Medtronic CRTDs (model DTMA2QQ) who have the specific serial numbers listed in the recall are affected. The risk is rare and only occurs during high voltage therapy.
Check if your device has the model number DTMA2QQ and the specific serial numbers listed in the recall (e.g., RPB618471S, RPB621777S, etc.). The recall includes a list of serial numbers and lot numbers.
Identify your device model as DTMA2QQ to see if it's affected.
Compare your device's serial number to the list of affected serial numbers provided in the recall.
The recall indicates a rare potential for reduced energy output during high voltage therapy, which could lead to ineffective treatment in some cases. However, this is not a direct safety hazard like a fire or injury risk.
Check if your device has the model number DTMA2QQ and compare your serial number to the list of affected serial numbers provided in the recall notice.
