1,729 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Aespire View" (anesthesia gas machine); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Datex-Ohmeda; received from September 2013 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
10 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 10 of the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (99.5%), injury (0.3%) and death (0.1%); across all gas-machine, anesthesia reports (product code BSZ) death is recorded in 0.2% and malfunction in 97.9%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are therapeutic or diagnostic output failure (20.6%), mechanical problem (13%) and device operates differently than expected (5.9%). The patient problems coded most often are no patient involvement, cardiac arrest and awareness during anesthesia. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
