Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model DTMB2QQ due to rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, which could affect device function.
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 (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model number DTMB2QQ. These devices have a rare risk of reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, which could potentially cause the device to malfunction. This recall affects patients with these specific devices.
The hazard involves a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J) in these devices. This could affect the device's ability to deliver necessary shocks for heart rhythm management, but the risk is very uncommon and occurs only under specific high voltage therapy conditions.
Patients with Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model number DTMB2QQ are affected. The risk is rare and only occurs under specific high voltage therapy conditions.
Check if your device has the model number DTMB2QQ. The recall includes specific lot and serial numbers listed in the official notice. This device is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
Verify your device model number is DTMB2QQ. This is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
Reach out to Medtronic directly for guidance on next steps if you have the recalled device model.
The specific model number is DTMB2QQ for implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds).
The hazard is rare and only occurs during specific high voltage therapy conditions (0-12J). The risk of serious injury is very low.
Check your device model number. If it is DTMB2QQ, your device is affected. The recall includes specific lot and serial numbers listed in the official notice.
