What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device where a failure mechanism could lead to loss of function, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.

Plain-English summary

Medtronic Inc. is recalling two units of the Cobalt HF CRT-D MRI SureScan DTPB2D1 implantable cardioverter defibrillator with cardiac resynchronization therapy. The recall involves specific serial numbers RTP601047S and RTP601055S.
