SmartSync Patient Connector limited the window to abort high voltage therapy

Plain-English summary

The Medtronic CareLink SmartSync Patient Connector, model number 24967, is being recalled across its software components, including the Cobalt Crome application (software model D00U005) and the Claria Amplia Compia application. The action covers 22,091 devices in total.

According to the manufacturer, in prior SmartSync application versions the Abort button stopped the test that was selected. During an induction test there was a limited window of time for the user to abort a therapy, thereby limiting the user's ability to cancel a high voltage therapy delivery. The FDA classified the action as Class II. The source does not report any injury having occurred.

Distribution was worldwide, including nationwide in the United States. The connectors are used by healthcare facilities rather than sold to consumers.

Facilities should identify affected units using the software model numbers and GTINs in the recall notice and follow the instructions issued by Medtronic.
