Abbott is recalling 34 units of the NT2000iX Radiofrequency (RF) Generator (Model REF RFG-NT-2000), a device used for lesioning during medical procedures. These specific generators were serviced using a tool that was out of tolerance, which may have resulted in inaccurate tests for potential capacitance failure. This means the device may not correctly detect internal component failures that could occur during use. Abbott has initiated this voluntary recall to ensure the safety and accuracy of the equipment used in patient care.
If the generator has an undetected capacitance failure, it could lead to inaccurate energy delivery or device malfunction during a medical procedure. This poses a potential risk of injury to patients or clinicians if the equipment does not perform as expected during a lesioning treatment.
