  • 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
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) present in the blood of patients treated for paracetamol overdose can interfere with the Trinder reaction that uses hydrogen peroxide catalytic on aminoantipyrine and phenol, and can produce falsely low results with the reagents using the Trinder reaction method.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.

Official device-enrichment evidence · Unknown

An exact joined enrichment record exists, but none supplies supported root-cause wording. This is not an FDA finding of an unknown cause.
