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.
Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.
How coverage and grouping work
Device root-cause evidence is not applicable to this event.
No grouped product has the official product type device; this is not an unavailable-enrichment finding.
