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 a Class I FDA recall, which establishes a minimum severity level of 4 per the rubric rule that FDA Class I classifications never go below 4. No reported illnesses or injuries are mentioned in the source material, and the hazard is described as a rare potential, preventing elevation to Critical (which requires reported deaths or serious injuries).
Plain-English summary
Medtronic's CRTD COBALT XT HF QUAD MRI IS4 DF1 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) are subject to this Class I FDA recall. The devices are manufactured with a specific type of feedthrough that presents a rare potential for reduced or complete loss of energy output during high voltage therapy, typically between 0 and 12 joules.
Approximately 2,669 units are affected by this recall and have been distributed in the United States and worldwide. The issue affects devices from multiple lot/serial numbers spanning three product codes. Patients implanted with these affected devices may not receive appropriate therapy during arrhythmia treatment.
Patients who believe they may have one of the affected devices should contact Medtronic and consult with their implanting cardiologist or electrophysiologist. Healthcare providers can verify whether a device matches the recalled lots using the specific lot/serial numbers provided in the FDA recall notice.
