Neurotherm NT2000iX RF Generator Recalled for Uncleared Software Settings
Neurotherm is recalling 25 NT2000iX RF Generators because they shipped with international software settings enabled, allowing access to modes not cleared for use in the United States.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is related to the availability of uncleared software modes rather than a direct physical defect causing immediate harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Neurotherm, Inc. is recalling 25 units of the Neurotherm NT2000iX RF Generator (Model Number: RFG-NT-2000iX).
