What is happening in CIG right now?

CIG (Diazo Colorimetry, Bilirubin): nothing changed in the six FDA sources we watch.

Checked predicate ancestry, recalls, adverse events, new entrants, review time, crowding. Nothing changed, so there is nothing here — which is the point. We only write when something did.

How long does FDA review take for CIG?

The median FDA review time for CIG is 51 days, measured across the 235 most recent decisions with both a received date and a decision date.

Review time here is decision date minus date received, as published by FDA. It is elapsed calendar time, not FDA review days — the two differ whenever the agency stops the clock for an additional information request.

Are there recalls in CIG?

openFDA lists 19 recall records against product code CIG. A recall record covers one firm's corrective action and may span many device lots.

  • Z-3065-2024Open, ClassifiedSiemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc.

    During manufacturing, the last three tests from the 160 test flex of lot 23206BA (wells 8 or 10) were processed on the Dimension Vista platform. There was an issue with the filling line which led to some wells to underfill in lot 23206BA. Calibrator, quality control (QC) and patient results could have been impacted.

  • Z-2623-2023Open, ClassifiedOrtho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.

    Samples containing high levels of ALKP (or an interfering substance) could deplete the available substrate in the reagent layer of a VITROS ALKP Slide and not post the substrate deleption (DP) code, which may result in the System reporting an incorrect value (lower than the actual value), which may result in missed or delayed diagnosis of liver disease.

Showing the 5 most recently initiated of 19. Recall class comes from openFDA's enforcement endpoint, which does not carry every recall — where it is missing, none is shown rather than guessed. Status is FDA's own wording; a terminated recall is a closed one, and the total spans the code's whole history, not just what is open today.

How many adverse events are reported for CIG?

MAUDE holds 123 adverse-event reports naming product code CIG, 32 of them received in the last 12 months.

MAUDE reports are submitted by manufacturers, importers, user facilities and the public. They are unverified, and a report is not proof that the device caused the event.

Is adverse-event reporting in CIG unusual?

Every month with enough history behind it falls inside CIG's own expected range. Nothing here is unusual for this code.

Monthly adverse-event reports naming CIG, against the expected range computed from this code's own history. Shaded band is the expected range; a bar above it is the month flagged. Retrieved 11 August 2026.

33 months do not have a full, unbroken year of history before them, so no expected range is shown for those. Insufficient history is reported as insufficient rather than as zero: an empty baseline would turn a gap in our data into a spike. Method: ewma_alpha_0.3_sd_2 corpus_adjusted. Counts are divided by the corpus-wide volume for that month before comparison, so a rise across all of MAUDE is not reported as a rise in CIG.

What are the predicate devices in CIG?

FDA publishes no machine-readable predicate field, so no predicate chain is recorded for this code yet.

A predicate chain matters because a device inherits the safety history of what it was compared to. FDA publishes the chain only inside each 510(k) summary PDF, never as data — so where we have edges, they are read from those documents, and where we do not, we say so instead of showing an empty list.
