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.

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.
Carryover from the Direct LDL-cholesterol assay on the Rx instruments may result in a negative bias, up to -11%, in quality control and patient samples, in urea assays results if the urea assay is run immediately after the Direct LDL-cholesterol assay. This may lead to a delay in reporting results or in falsely decreased urea test results.
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.
