  • 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
The firm is conducting a field correction for the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay systems, regarding manually loaded sample racks that are improperly loaded or pushed too far on the sample entry queue during normal operation of the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay systems. Pushing the sample racks may cause misreads of Sample IDs (SID) if the sample rack loading instructions are not followed exactly as described in the ADVIA Centaur or ADVIA Centaur XP Operators Guide.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
