Malfunction reports run above the device-type norm
Photometric Method, Magnesium carries 97.0% MALFUNCTION-coded reports, 32.2pp above the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.
- DEATH 0.0% corpus 1.5% · below corpus mean (-1.5 pp)
- INJ 2.7% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-27.6 pp)
- MALF 97.0% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+32.2 pp)
Lead product-problem code High Test Results is 67% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer ABBOTT MANUFACTURING INC accounts for 39% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 57% of location-tagged rows .
