Injury-coded reports run above the device-type norm
Prosthesis carries 90.2% INJURY-coded reports, 59.9pp above the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.
- DEATH 0.3% corpus 1.5% · below corpus mean (-1.2 pp)
- INJ 90.2% corpus 30.3% · above corpus mean (+59.9 pp)
- MALF 7.4% corpus 64.8% · below corpus mean (-57.4 pp)
Lead product-problem code Insufficient Device Problem Information is 21% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS, INC. accounts for 26% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 50% of location-tagged rows .
