Sorin Platinium CRT-D Recall Due to Pacing and Sensing Loss

Sorin CRM SAS is recalling 16 Platinium CRT-D devices because a hardware defect may cause loss of pacing and sensing, preventing the device from delivering necessary defibrillation.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves the failure of a life-sustaining medical device (defibrillator) to deliver therapy, which constitutes a significant risk of serious injury or death.

Plain-English summary

Sorin CRM SAS is recalling 16 units of the Sorin Platinium CRT-D 1711 DF-1, Sterile EO. Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator and Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator. The recall is due to a hardware configuration issue that may lead to overconsumption of the device's power, resulting in the loss of pacing and sensing capabilities.

If the device loses these capabilities, it cannot identify an arrhythmia that would require defibrillation shock therapy. This means the device may fail to deliver life-saving treatment if a patient experiences a dangerous heart rhythm.

The affected devices were distributed in the United States to New Jersey, Arizona, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, and Mississippi. The specific serial numbers for the 16 recalled units are: 619DK0FB, 618DK003, 619DK0C0, 622DK03B, 622DK12A, 624DK070, 624DK12F, 619DK021, 627DK0B0, 618DK0A4, 619DK097, 620DK065, 619DK09B, 619DK05F, 619DK088, and 619DK0CC. Patients with these devices should contact their healthcare provider for evaluation and potential replacement.
