substantial/major alterations or modifications


Explanation:
I don't agree that it can mean changes in the material.

"material" is an adjective here not a noun and means major/significant etc

here are some synonyms

https://www.powerthesaurus.org/material_change/synonyms

So it means that the device has had major changes made to it and needs to be sent for servicing (or for recalibration and/or adjustment to factory mode)
