REASON
DMedtronic is informing you of a rare device software issue in certain ICD and CRT-D devices. A software update will be available to correct his issue. There have been 5 reports of this issue occurring with no reported patient injuries or deaths. Medtronic has identified the root cause to be a rare and specific sequence of events that must occur within a few milliseconds of each other. In the unlikely event that this sequence occurs, all subsequent high voltage therapies will experience prolonged charge time or loss of high voltage therapy (due to a charge circuit timeout). Device alerts are nominally ON and will notify patients to seek medical attention should either of these alert conditions occur.
