The firm discovered through customer complaints that device segments may not meet specifications.

A cardioversion procedure may damage the electronics in the Vanta INS device, making the INS unresponsive and non-functional. As of April 19, 2023, Medtronic has received a total of two complaints concerning this issue from patients implanted with a Vanta INS, both of which have resulted in explant procedures.

There is a rare potential for reduced- or no-energy output during high voltage (HV) therapy (typically 0-12J) in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) manufactured with a specific (glassed) feedthrough, including currently available ICDs and CRT-Ds.
