Implantable Defibrillators Recalled for Potential Therapy Delivery Failure
Medtronic is recalling certain ICD and CRT-D devices that may fail to deliver high-voltage therapy due to a manufacturing defect in the device feedthrough. The recall affects 2,018 units distributed nationwide and worldwide.
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: This is an FDA Class I recall for implanted cardiac devices where a manufacturing defect could prevent delivery of life-critical high-voltage therapy. The potential for serious harm is inherent when a defibrillator fails to function as intended.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. is recalling specific implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough that may produce reduced or no energy output during high-voltage therapy delivery. These devices are designed to deliver high-voltage therapy (typically 0-12 joules) to treat dangerous heart rhythms.
The potential defect affects approximately 2,018 units that have been distributed nationwide and worldwide. The inability to deliver proper therapy poses a significant health risk for patients who rely on these devices.
Patients with these devices should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic for information about whether their specific device is affected and what follow-up actions may be necessary.
