Recalls
576 product recalls in 269 recall events under these names; 20 initiated in the last five years.
Recalling firms are matched to the applicant names above by name only, so recalls filed under other names are not counted. A recall count says nothing about how safe one company's devices are compared with another's.
How this group is built
Groups are curated by Caduvo from public sources listed below; FDA does not group applicants. Counts include filings made before an acquisition, and can include older filings by a business that was later sold when FDA records them under the same applicant name; see the notes on this page.
Boehringer Mannheim (1998), Disetronic (2003), Ventana Medical Systems (2008), GenMark (2021). Includes filings made before each acquisition. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE is the parent's own 1976–1985 filings. Left out: Roche Medical Electronics (1970s monitoring business, later sold) and two small names with unclear history.
