Plain-English summary

Medtronic Inc. is recalling ICD CROME DR MRI IS1 DF1 (Model DDPC3D1) implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough component.

These devices carry a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high-voltage (HV) therapy, typically 0-12 joules. This could prevent the device from delivering adequate life-saving therapy to correct dangerous heart rhythms.

The recall affects 487 units with worldwide distribution. It includes currently available ICDs and CRT-Ds manufactured with the affected feedthrough component.

Patients with these devices should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic directly to determine if their specific device is affected and what monitoring or corrective actions may be needed.
