  • 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
On cobas c 701 and cobas c 702 modules of the Cobas 8000 series analyzer, a mismatch between the reagent probe positioning and the aspirated reagent volumes under certain conditions can lead to insufficient reagent pipetting. This may affect patient sample and controls recovery for the following tests: Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP2), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Bicarbonate (CO2-L), Creatinine (C
