  • 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 became aware that the ball bushing axels are defective in the GSP instrument. During exposure to humid conditions, there is a risk that the axle material will corrode. Deterioration of the axle can be observed as deposits of corrosion on the defective axles. Ball bushing axles may corrode and corrosion particle may cause contamination in the wells or the corrosion will cause movement issues and possibly spillage and causing contamination of the plate wells.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
