We found 2 models of SnapLink by Ormco Corporation in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). None of them is named in an adverse event report in our data.
2 FDA recall records name at least one of these models by its device identifier.
Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.
