Medtronic Implantable Defibrillators Recalled for Potential Therapy Delivery Failure
Medtronic recalls certain ICD and CRT-D defibrillators due to a rare potential for reduced or no-energy output during high-voltage therapy. Affected devices were manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough component.
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 requires a minimum severity of 4. Although no illnesses have been reported and the defect is described as rare, the underlying hazard involves potential failure of critical lifesaving defibrillation therapy delivery.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic is recalling certain ICD-VR DVME3D1 MIRRO MRI implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) due to a rare potential for reduced or no-energy output during high-voltage therapy. The devices were manufactured with a specific glassed feedthrough component that may be affected.
The defect may result in the device delivering insufficient or no energy during defibrillation therapy, which typically ranges from 0 to 12 joules. Approximately 3,852 units have been distributed nationwide and worldwide. The recall includes multiple serial number lots manufactured with the affected feedthrough design.
Patients with affected ICDs or CRT-Ds should contact their healthcare provider or Medtronic to determine if their device is part of this recall. Device identification can be confirmed by checking the serial number against the provided lot list. Do not discontinue use of your device without consulting your physician.
