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 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.
