Implantable cardioverter defibrillators may fail to deliver therapy
Medtronic is recalling certain implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) with specific glassed feedthroughs that may deliver reduced or no energy output during high voltage therapy.
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 recall. The device malfunction affects a life-critical function (high voltage therapy delivery for potentially fatal arrhythmias), warranting the Severe classification despite no reported illnesses or deaths to date.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic is recalling certain Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-Ds) Model DVMB2D1. Approximately 2,310 units are affected, distributed nationwide and worldwide. The devices manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough component are subject to this recall.
These devices carry a rare potential for reduced or no energy output during high voltage (HV) therapy, typically delivered at 0-12 joules. This malfunction could prevent the device from delivering the therapeutic shock needed to restore normal heart rhythm during dangerous arrhythmias, creating a serious risk to patient safety.
Patients with these devices should contact their healthcare provider to determine if their device is affected and to discuss appropriate management. Do not discontinue use of your device without consulting your physician, as the device continues to provide cardiac monitoring and therapy in most situations.
