What stratification are items placed in when they are potentially affected by a Medical Materiel Category I complaint?

When items are placed in a stratification category due to a Medical Materiel Category I complaint, they are classified as Suspended. This action reflects a precautionary measure where items are temporarily removed from use because they are suspected of posing a serious risk to health or safety. This classification ensures that the items are not distributed, used, or relied upon until a thorough investigation can be conducted and it is confirmed that they meet safety and efficacy standards.

The term "Suspended" indicates an active response to potential issues, highlighting the need for additional scrutiny before the items can be reinstated for usage. This is essential in protecting patient safety and addressing any potential health hazards associated with the medical materials in question.
