Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. is recalling 2,173 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds), model DTMB1Q1, manufactured with a specific feedthrough component.
The affected devices have a rare potential for reduced or no-energy output during high-voltage therapy, typically in the 0-12 joule range. This could prevent the device from delivering defibrillation when needed.
The devices were distributed nationwide and worldwide. Patients should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic to determine if their device is affected and discuss appropriate next steps.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
