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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a risk-of-harm product (implanted medical device) where the inability to recharge or adjust parameters could lead to adverse health consequences, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
QiG Group LLC is recalling 34 units of the Algostim LLC Algovita Implanted Pulse Generator stimulator, Model 2412 (2 x 12 channel). The recall involves specific serial numbers distributed in Germany and Luxembourg.
The recall is due to suboptimal performance in establishing a connection to external devices unless they are brought into close proximity, as close as 5 cm. This issue may prevent users from reprogramming the stimulator, adjusting stimulation parameters such as intensity and program selection, or recharging the device.
Patients with these specific implanted pulse generators should contact their healthcare provider or the recalling firm for instructions on how to proceed. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this defect.
