Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

Due to Bluetooth malfunction on a subset of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) and Cardia Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator *CRT-D) devices that were manufactured prior to April 2022 as a result of crystal component issue within the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) circuit. This results in the device entering an inductive telemetry only mode with loss of Bluetooth communication. In some instances, thought BLE communication is unavailable, the circuit may remain in a state which draws excessive power affecting battery longevity.
