How long does FDA review take for JKA?

The median FDA review time for JKA is 91 days, measured across the 236 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 JKA?

openFDA lists 170 recall records against product code JKA. A recall record covers one firm's corrective action and may span many device lots.

  • Z-1100-2026Open, ClassifiedICU Medical, Inc.

    Affected lots of syringes may have a crack on the syringe collar, which may lead to delayed or repeated blood draw/fluid delivery. This issue may also lead to blood leakage during sampling of arterial blood or leakage during fluid delivery.

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 JKA?

MAUDE holds 14,964 adverse-event reports naming product code JKA, 4,071 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.

21 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 JKA.

"First time" means their first clearance in this product code, not their first ever — an established manufacturer entering a new category is exactly the movement worth knowing about.

What are the predicate devices in JKA?

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.

Applicant names above are exactly as FDA published them, so one company can appear under several spellings.

The same makers, after name resolution

One company in JKA files under more than one spelling. Resolving them to one identity — across all six datasets, not just this one — is what makes a joined count possible at all.

Merges are measured against a hand-labelled sample and held above 98% precision; pairs the matcher is unsure of are queued for a person rather than merged. See DeviceSignal.
