You have a patient safety issue, not a PR issue. The 6 month regulatory reporting timeline is the formal process, not the ethical or legal obligation to act now. Waiting for more data while patients continue to be exposed is criminal negligence exposure, not risk mitigation.

Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview1,097 words
If a working semiconductor transistor had been invented in 1920—perhaps by a physicist like Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, who historically filed a theoretical patent for a field-effect transistor in 1925—the trajectory of the 20th century would have been radically altered.
