Medtronic recalls certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough that may cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. Affected devices have specific serial numbers and GTINs 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 (CRT-Ds) that may have reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. This rare issue could potentially lead to inadequate treatment of heart conditions. Affected devices have specific serial numbers and GTINs listed in the recall.
The devices contain a specific type of glassed feedthrough that may cause reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy (typically 0-12J). This could lead to inadequate treatment of heart conditions in rare cases, but the risk is very low and not common.
People with Medtronic CRT-D devices that have the specific serial numbers listed in the recall are affected. The risk is rare and only occurs under specific high voltage therapy conditions.
