Medtronic, Inc. is recalling approximately 22,091 CareLink SmartSync Patient Connectors (Model 24967) and Device Managers (Model 24967A). These devices use software applications to manage cardiac implants, but a software error in previous versions causes the "Abort" button to stop working during specific induction tests. This defect limits a clinician's ability to cancel the delivery of high-voltage therapy when needed. Medtronic has released updated software versions to correct this issue.
If the "Abort" button fails during a procedure, a clinician may be unable to stop the delivery of a high-voltage shock within the expected window. This could result in the patient receiving unnecessary or unintended high-voltage therapy.
Recall affects prior SmartSync application versions. Corrected versions include 6.5.5, 9.5.2, 4.4.6, 3.5.5, 3.4.2, and 3.7.5 depending on the software model.
