Medtronic EVERA MRI implantable defibrillator recalled for manufacturing weld defect

Medtronic is recalling five units of its EVERA MRI S DR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to a manufacturing defect—a weld crack that caused failure during quality control testing.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall of a high-risk implantable cardioverter defibrillator with a potential structural defect (weld crack). Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the defect was identified during manufacturing, an ICD is a life-sustaining device where malfunction could cause serious harm.

Plain-English summary

Medtronic Inc. is recalling five units of the EVERA MRI S DR SureScan Model Number DDMC3D1, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The recall addresses a manufacturing defect identified during quality control testing.

The devices contain a weld crack that caused them to fail the leak check step during manufacturing. This defect could potentially lead to device malfunction if an affected unit were implanted.
