  • 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
Medtronic neurostimulators (used with pain and deep brain stimulation therapy) have a cycling feature that, when enabled, allows stimulation output to be toggled on and off based on the programmed settings. The use of this feature is determined by the physician and set using the clinician programmer. Current labeling indicates the use of cycling improves device longevity and recharge interval

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
