Brazilian data is current through June 2018. All of the data comes from Anvisa, except for the categories Manufacturer Parent Company and Product Classification.
The Parent Company and the Product Classification were added by ICIJ.
The parent company information is based on 2017 public records. The device classification information comes from FDA’s Product Classification by Review Panel, based on matches of data from the U.S. and Brazil.

The company is aware that hospitals often remove the products from their outer cartons and store them on the shelves, only in their inner pouches. If this is a practice in your unit, it is very important that you carefully use the enclosed product listing and consider both the internal and the external code of the packaging of the affected products in this collection, as the UPN numbers on the labels of packaging may be different from those on the outer packaging labels. The product information listed on your specific Verification and Traceability Response Form only provides the code for the product's external packaging and is the code that should be used when reporting localized products for return. Check the batch number of the product with the complete product listing to determine if the batch present in your stock is affected. If so, indicate on your Verification and Traceability Response Form the number of units for each batch you are required to return. Since some products within this family of products are sold individually, others in packs of 5 and multi-packs of 3 or 5 catheters, it is important that all reported quantities represent the actual number of individual catheters that are being returned and not the number of boxes or multi-packs.

The company expects to complete the collection until 10/16/2009. Anvisa is accompanied by this action.
