Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRTDs) with model DTMA1QQ that may have reduced energy output during high voltage therapy, potentially causing ineffective treatment. Affected units include 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 DTMA1QQ that may have a rare risk of reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This could lead to ineffective treatment of heart conditions. The recall includes specific serial numbers listed in the notice.
The device uses a specific type of glassed feedthrough that can sometimes fail to deliver the full energy needed during high voltage therapy. This is a rare occurrence but could result in ineffective treatment of heart conditions if the device is used without proper energy delivery.
People with Medtronic CRTDs (model DTMA1QQ) that have the specific serial numbers listed in the recall are affected. The risk is rare and only occurs during high voltage therapy, so most users are not at immediate risk.
Check if your Medtronic CRTD has model number DTMA1QQ and the specific serial numbers listed in the recall (e.g., RPA210493H, RPA222265H, etc.). The recall includes a long list of serial numbers.
Verify your device's model number is DTMA1QQ and check if your serial number appears in the list of affected units provided in the recall.
Check if your device has model number DTMA1QQ and if your serial number appears in the list of affected units provided in the recall (e.g., RPA210493H, RPA222265H, etc.).
No action is needed if your device is not listed in the recall. The recall only applies to specific model numbers and serial numbers.
The risk is rare and only occurs during high voltage therapy. It may result in reduced or no energy output, which could lead to ineffective treatment of heart conditions.
