Current reading — problem

An FDA adverse-event report linked Linq ii¿ insertable cardiac monitor to an AI-related malfunction; the report requires investigation and does not by itself establish causality.

What this doesn’t fix

FDA adverse-event reports can be incomplete, duplicated, or unverified and do not establish that a device caused the reported outcome.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0039 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
