Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.

event_date_initiated coverage
June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026
Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.
Product dates, classifications, firms, and source wording remain attached to their individual rows.

Superior Approach Resection Guide Assembly. Indicated for primary, fracture, or revision total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain.
Biomet has initiated this action following an investigation which identified that the slot on the resection guide is offset in the wrong direction. When the slot on the resection guide is offset in the wrong direction, the Steinman pin that is intended to hold the guide into place may not come into contact with the bone.
These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
