  • 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.

Edwards Lifesciences Swan Ganz Thermodilution Catheter, REF131F 7J Product Usage: The Swan-Ganz Thermodilution Catheter provides a diagnostic tool for physicians to rapidly determine hemodynamic pressures and cardiac output when used with a compatible cardiac output computer. Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheters are indicated for the assessment of a patient s hemodynamic condition through direct intra-cardiac and pulmonary artery pressure monitoring, cardiac output determination, and for infusing solutions. The distal (pulmonary artery) port also allows sampling of mixed venous blood for the assessment of oxygen transport balance and the calculation of derived parameters such as oxygen consumption, oxygen utilization coefficient, and intrapulmonary shunt fraction.

App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
These Swan Ganz catheters have incorrect lumen assembly, which causes reversal of the lumens. If the lumens are reversed the clinician may note reverse PA and CVP pressure values and waveforms.

These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
