Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with model DTPA2D1G due to rare risk of reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy, potentially affecting device effectiveness.
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 DTPA2D1G. This recall is due to a rare risk that the device might not deliver enough energy during high voltage therapy, which could affect its ability to treat heart conditions.
The device uses a specific glassed feedthrough that may cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This could lead to the device failing to treat heart conditions effectively, though this is a rare occurrence.
People with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) using the DTPA2D1G model. Those most at risk are patients who have recently had the device implanted or are currently using the device.
Check if your device has the model number DTPA2D1G. The lot and serial numbers listed are RTH602452S, RTH602446S, RTH602443S, RTH602454S, and RTH602442S. The device was sold with the GTIN 00763000501044.
