QiG Group Recalls Algovita Implanted Pulse Generators Due to Connection Issues
QiG Group LLC is recalling 40 Algovita Implanted Pulse Generators because they may fail to connect to external devices unless held very close.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a functional defect that prevents essential operations like reprogramming and recharging. This fits the rubric for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' as the device failure could lead to unintended stimulation or loss of therapy, but no specific injuries are cited in the source text.
Plain-English summary
QiG Group LLC is recalling 40 units of the Algovita Implanted Pulse Generator stimulator, Model 2408 (3 x 8 channel). The recall involves devices distributed in Germany and Luxembourg.
The recall was issued because the implantable pulse generators had suboptimal performance when establishing a connection to external devices. The devices required external devices to be brought into close proximity, as close as 5 cm, to function properly. As a result, specific functions may not be available, including reprogramming the stimulator, adjusting stimulation parameters such as on/off status, intensity modifications, and stimulation program selection, and recharging the stimulator.
Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the official recall notice. Consumers or healthcare providers with these devices should contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
