How long does FDA review take for JTN?

The median FDA review time for JTN is 53 days, measured across the 330 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 JTN?

openFDA lists 47 recall records against product code JTN. A recall record covers one firm's corrective action and may span many device lots.

    There is a possibility of reproducibility, accuracy, and/or QC failures in antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) for H. influenzae. This may cause product discard, delayed results, or additional adverse diagnostic outcomes, such as a delay in diagnosis, the selection of inappropriate antibiotics, or extended duration of antibiotic exposure and the treatment process.

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 JTN?

MAUDE holds 14 adverse-event reports naming product code JTN, 4 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 JTN unusual?

JTN 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 JTN, 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.

9 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 JTN?

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.
