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 an FDA Class II recall for a high-risk implantable cardiac device with a confirmed manufacturing defect (weld crack) that could lead to device failure. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the defective devices were identified and stopped during manufacturing quality checks before distribution. This meets the rubric criterion: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Medtronic Inc. is recalling 46 units of the PRIMO MRI VR SureScan implantable cardioverter defibrillator (Model DVMD3D4) due to a manufacturing defect involving potential weld cracks that could cause device failure.

The manufacturing defect was discovered during manufacturing when devices failed leak-check testing, a critical quality-control procedure. The weld cracks led to devices failing this test.
