ZYTO Technologies Recalls ZYTO Tower and Software for Regulatory Violations

ZYTO Technologies is voluntarily recalling ZYTO Tower devices and software because their marketing claims exceeded the scope of their FDA 510(k) clearance.

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 and is driven by regulatory non-compliance (claims exceeding clearance) rather than a physical safety defect or reported injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary recall.
