  • 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
Certain models and lots of PORT A CATH implantable port kits may have been misassembled. The kits may incorrectly contain a 6Fr or 6.5Fr size introducer instead of the correct 8.5Fr size introducer. The Power PORT A CATH II kit may also contain the incorrect locking collars in addition to the incorrect sized introducer.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
