  • 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.

Increased frequency of calibration failures for VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products NT-proBNP Reagent Lots 1568, 1570, 1580 and 1590, due to background signals for these affected NT-proBNP lots that have been increasing with time since release testing, resulting in higher than expected VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products NT-proBNP level 1 calibrator signals produced, leading to calibration failures.
