  • 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
In rare cases of insufficient maintenance or high clinical workload, the first rope of the ceiling stand, which is designed to take the load, could break without triggering the safety lock and this could lead to overloading the safety rope which is not designed for continuous load and ongoing movement under load. This may lead to mechanical fatigue and cause the arm to drop down during patient positioning. Patients and users may be seriously injured.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
