    Description

    Cobalt Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT-D): a. Cobalt HF CRT-D, Model Numbers: DTPB2D4, DTPB2D1; b. Cobalt HF Quad CRT-D, Model Numbers: DTPB2QQ, DTPB2Q1

    Reason

    There is the potential for reduced shock energy (~79% of programmed energy) during high-voltage (HV) therapy for Cobalt and Crome implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds).

    Action

    Beginning 22-JUN-2022 communications to all affected consignees began. In the United States notifications are sent via UPS 2-day delivery. For outside U.S. countries, notifications are handled via a regionally approved method. Consignees are asked to forward this notification to those who need to be aware within the organization and to any location which the devices have been distributed. Consignees are asked to complete and return a confirmation certificate (or equivalent record) confirming they have received the notification. Consignees are asked to quarantine the subset of unused identified Cobalt and Crome devices for retrieval due to potential manufacturing non-conformance and return the inventory to Medtronic. On approximately 08/10/2022, Medtronic notified Risk Managers of the availability of a SW update and actions specific to update the SW on the SmartSync devices, that will in turn update the patient's implanted device during their next clinic visit. In addition, on this same date, a separate communication dated August 2022 is being sent to all affected Implanting Physicians notifying them that a SW update is available and recommended actions to correct this issue with their patient's implanted device. The second notification to physicians did not request returned confirmation.
