  • 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
A safety risk regarding a potentially existing dark current radiation phenomenon on the Linear Accelerator (LINAC) in combination with IMRT or mARC (rotational IMRT) treatments using unflat (flattening filter free) beams. In case there are many long periods of field shape changes in a treatment plan, the dose due to dark current radiation may sum up to a significant value.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
