Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Recalled for Potential High-Voltage Therapy Failure

Medtronic is recalling 664 implantable cardioverter defibrillators due to a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high-voltage therapy. The defect could prevent critical defibrillation therapy when needed.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall, the most serious regulatory classification for medical devices. FDA Class I is designated for devices that could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. In this case, a manufacturing defect could prevent life-critical defibrillation therapy delivery.
