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.
Product dates, classifications, firms, and source wording remain attached to their individual rows.

Dafilon Suture Black 10/0 (0.2) 15 cm DRM4 NS, non-sterile, non-absorbable polyamide Surgical Suture, additional label affixed on the box states the product is sterile, packaged in a cassette holding 12 sutures
Aesculap Inc. (AIC (USA)) has initiated a voluntary recall of Dafilon Black 10/0 (0.2) 15 cm DRm4 non-sterile non-absorbable polyamide Surgical Suture due to a labeling issue. Box labels do state non-sterile; however there is an additional label that is affixed on the box that states the product is sterile.
These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
