Medtronic Recalls Amplia MRI CRT-D Devices Due to Therapy Prevention Risk
Medtronic is recalling 951 Amplia MRI CRT-D devices because they may fail to deliver high or low voltage therapy.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a Class I FDA classification for a medical device that may fail to deliver life-saving therapy, which meets the criteria for a Severe rating due to the potential for serious injury or death.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. is recalling 951 Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-Ds) from the Amplia MRI series. The affected devices are labeled as Amplia MRI CRT-D DF4, Amplia MRI Quad CRT-D DF1, Amplia MRI Quad CRT-D DF4, and Amplia MRI CRT-D DF1. These are implantable devices designed to detect and treat episodes of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, fast ventricular tachycardia, and bradyarrhythmia, with some providing resynchronization therapy.
The recall is issued because the devices may experience a possible prevention of high and low voltage therapy. This means the devices might fail to deliver the necessary electrical shocks or pacing to treat life-threatening heart rhythms.
The devices were distributed nationwide in the United States. Patients with these specific devices should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic to discuss the risk and determine if a replacement or other corrective action is necessary.
