Malfunction reports run above the device-type norm
Cable, Electrode carries 72.3% MALFUNCTION-coded reports, 7.5pp above the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.
- DEATH 1.3% corpus 1.5% · near corpus mean (-0.2 pp)
- INJ 23.5% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-6.8 pp)
- MALF 72.3% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+7.5 pp)
Lead product-problem code Thermal Decomposition of Device is 14% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer CARDINAL HEALTH accounts for 36% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 42% of location-tagged rows .
