Injury-coded reports sit below the device-type norm

Continuous Measurement Thermometer carries 13.1% INJURY-coded reports, 17.2pp below the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.

  • DEATH 1.0% corpus 1.5% · below corpus mean (-0.5 pp)
  • INJ 13.1% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-17.2 pp)
  • MALF 74.2% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+9.4 pp)

Lead product-problem code Excessive Heating is 26% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer COVIDIEN accounts for 100% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 53% of location-tagged rows .
