Number of warning letters the FDA sent concerning medical devices from 2009 to 2017*
* "A Warning Letter is a written communication from FDA notifying a responsible individual, manufacturer, or facility that the agency considers one or more products, practices, processes, or other activities to be in violation of the laws that FDA enforces. The Warning Letter informs the recipient that failure to take appropriate and prompt action to correct and prevent any future repeat of the violations could result in an administrative or judicial action. Although serious noncompliance is often a catalyst for issuance of a Warning Letter, the Warning Letter is informal and advisory."
