Medtronic Percepta CRT-P MRI Recall for Temporary Feature Suspension
Medtronic is recalling 37,360 Percepta CRT-P MRI devices due to a rare communication issue that may temporarily suspend certain device features.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source explicitly states the issue is unlikely to result in clinical impact and features are restored, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall without reported injuries.
Plain-English summary
Medtronic Inc. is recalling 37,360 Percepta CRT-P MRI devices, including models W1TR01, W1TR04, W4TR01, and W4TR04. The devices were distributed worldwide. The recall is due to a rare communication sequence that can occur during the first device interrogation with a SmartSync Device Manager.
This rare interaction may result in the temporary suspension of specific device features, including battery measurements, Capture Management, Atrial Lead Position Check, EffectivCRT algorithms, and AdaptivCRT. It also temporarily suspends automatic threshold testing, output adjustments, and auto-optimization of CRT therapy. The source text states that this issue is unlikely to result in clinical impact to the patient.
The suspended features are restored upon the next programmer device interrogation or the presence of a magnet. Patients with these devices should contact their healthcare provider for guidance on device interrogation.
