How long does FDA review take for JSJ?

The median FDA review time for JSJ is 27 days, measured across the 307 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 JSJ?

openFDA lists 6 recall records against product code JSJ. A recall record covers one firm's corrective action and may span many device lots.

  • Z-1474-2026Open, ClassifiedRemel, Inc.

    Customer complaints report low to no recovery of Campylobacter Jejuni ATCC 33291 on identified lot of medium.

  • Z-0284-2019TerminatedAcumedia Manufacturers, Inc.

  • Z-1571-2016TerminatedHardy Diagnostics

    Microbiological identification media may exhibit reduced levels of Vancomycin.

  • Z-1800-2013TerminatedBecton, Dickinson and Company

    Microbiological identification media may exhibit reduced levels of Vancomycin.

Showing the 5 most recently initiated of 6. 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 JSJ?

MAUDE holds 411 adverse-event reports naming product code JSJ, 75 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 JSJ unusual?

JSJ does not yet have twelve months of adverse-event history in our data, so there is no expected range to compare against. That is a gap in what we hold, not a statement about the device.

Monthly adverse-event reports naming JSJ, 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.

24 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.

What are the predicate devices in JSJ?

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.
