Injury-coded reports sit below the device-type norm
Rongeur carries 20.0% INJURY-coded reports, 10.3pp below 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 20.0% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-10.3 pp)
- MALF 73.0% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+8.2 pp)
Lead product-problem code Break is 39% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer AESCULAP AG accounts for 38% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 47% of location-tagged rows .
