FDA's MAUDE database holds 20,061 reports that name the brand "Allura Xper FD" (interventional fluoroscopic x-ray system), received between March 2020 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Philips Medical Systems Nederland. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

5,580 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 6,027 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 (99.6%), injury (0.3%) and death (0.1%); across all interventional fluoroscopic x-ray system reports (product code OWB) death is recorded in 0.2% and malfunction in 98.5%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are activation failure (47.1%), radiation output failure (31.5%) and positioning failure (11.5%). The patient problems coded most often are fall, needle stick/puncture and cardiac arrest. 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."
