Medtronic implantable defibrillators may fail to deliver therapy

Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators with specific feedthrough components may fail to deliver adequate high-voltage therapy output.

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: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, which establishes a minimum severity rating of 4 per the rubric. Although no deaths or serious injuries have been reported, the potential for therapy failure in critical life-saving devices justifies this rating.

Plain-English summary

Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds), Model DTMC2D1, manufactured with a specific feedthrough component may produce reduced or no energy output during high-voltage therapy delivery (typically 0-12J).

Approximately 10,197 units of these devices have been distributed to the United States and worldwide. The defect may be present in devices already implanted in patients and in currently available units.

The potential failure to deliver adequate high-voltage therapy output could prevent these devices from providing necessary treatment during critical cardiac events.
