Malfunction reports run above the device-type norm

System carries 96.2% MALFUNCTION-coded reports, 31.4pp above the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.

  • DEATH 0.1% corpus 1.5% · below corpus mean (-1.4 pp)
  • INJ 1.0% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-29.3 pp)
  • MALF 96.2% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+31.4 pp)

Lead product-problem code False Negative Result is 52% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer ORTHO CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS accounts for 67% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location is 67% of location-tagged rows .
