openFDA Device Enforcement
Report-date coverage
June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026
Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.
openFDA Device Recall
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.
Opening this dossier never hides products that did not match a prior timeline filter.

Riverpoint Medical is recalling PGLA Surgical Suture (Vilet) because the label indicates the suture is undyed and it is actually a violet colored suture.
These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
