Implantable Defibrillators With Defective Feedthrough May Fail During Critical Therapy
Medtronic is recalling 14,270 implantable cardioverter defibrillators with a specific feedthrough that may produce reduced or no energy output during high-voltage therapy. The affected devices may fail to deliver critical treatment when needed.
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 designation requires a minimum severity score of 4. The recalled implantable cardiac devices have a potential to fail during critical high-voltage therapy delivery, which could be life-threatening for patients dependent on these devices for treatment.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. is recalling 14,270 units of the ICD-VR DVMD3D4 PRIMO MRI implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and related cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough component. The devices have been distributed nationwide in the US and worldwide.
The recalled devices have a rare potential to produce reduced or no energy output during high-voltage (HV) therapy delivery, typically at 0-12 joules. This defect could prevent the device from delivering the electrical therapy needed to restore normal heart rhythm in patients experiencing life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.
Patients with implanted devices should verify whether their device is affected by checking their lot serial number against the manufacturer's list of affected lots. Contact Medtronic Inc. for further information regarding this recall.
