  • 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.

App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The affected lots may exhibit inaccuracy for Quality Control and patient samples at the low end of the Analytical Measurement Range. The bias is due to the calibration curve not showing separation between the Level 1 and Level 2 calibrators.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.

Official device-enrichment evidence · Unknown

An exact joined enrichment record exists, but none supplies supported root-cause wording. This is not an FDA finding of an unknown cause.

Reason for recall

The affected lots may exhibit inaccuracy for Quality Control and patient samples at the low end of the Analytical Measurement Range. The bias is due to the calibration curve not showing separation between the Level 1 and Level 2 calibrators.

App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The affected lots may exhibit inaccuracy for Quality Control and patient samples at the low end of the Analytical Measurement Range. The bias is due to the calibration curve not showing separation between the Level 1 and Level 2 calibrators. The negative bias observed for patient, QC, and calibrator samples, when using any of the listed lots, has the potential to impact the interpretation of gentamicin results during therapeutic monitoring at concentrations up to approximately 2.5 ¿g/mL [5.4 ¿mol/L].
