Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Recalled Due to Potential Therapy Failure
Medtronic is recalling approximately 15,427 implantable cardioverter defibrillators with a specific feedthrough due to a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy. Patients should contact their healthcare provider.
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: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity of Severe. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the potential for reduced or no-energy output during therapy in an implanted life-critical device justifies this classification.
