How long does FDA review take for KGN?

The median FDA review time for KGN is 119 days, measured across the 190 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.

How many adverse events are reported for KGN?

MAUDE holds 37 adverse-event reports naming product code KGN, 8 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 KGN unusual?

KGN 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.

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.

What are the predicate devices in KGN?

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.
