How many adverse events are reported for NUC?

MAUDE holds 37 adverse-event reports naming product code NUC, 7 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 NUC unusual?

NUC 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.

23 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.

"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 NUC?

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.
