Medtronic ICD COBALT XT Recalled for Potential Energy Output Failure
Medtronic has recalled certain implantable defibrillators (ICDs) due to a potential for reduced or no-energy output during therapy. Affected devices may fail to deliver required treatment for dangerous heart rhythms.
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: This is an FDA Class I recall of life-sustaining medical devices that could fail to deliver critical therapy. Although the source describes only a 'rare potential' for harm with no reported adverse events or injuries, the FDA's Class I classification for implantable defibrillators establishes a minimum severity of Severe.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. has recalled approximately 2,000 units of ICD COBALT XT VR MRI implantable cardioverter defibrillators (Model DVPA2D1) due to a potential for reduced or no-energy output during high-voltage therapy. The issue stems from a specific glassed feedthrough component in the devices.
The affected defibrillators are designed to detect and treat abnormal heart rhythms. If the device's energy delivery system malfunctions, these life-sustaining devices may fail to deliver required high-voltage therapy during critical cardiac events.
The recalled devices were distributed in the United States and worldwide. Medtronic has documented specific lot serial numbers affected by this recall.
Patients with one of these recalled devices should consult with their healthcare provider or contact Medtronic to assess their individual risk and discuss any necessary monitoring or management options.
