Plain-English summary

The affected devices are labeled as Compia MRI CRT-D DF1 (Product No. DTMC1D1) and Compia MRI Quad CRT-D DF4 (Product No. DTMC1QQ). These are implantable devices designed to automatically detect and treat episodes of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, fast ventricular tachycardia, and bradyarrhythmia, with some providing resynchronization therapy.
