161 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Amphirion Deep Pta Balloon Catheter" (catheter percutaneous); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Invatec; received from January 2007 to October 2021. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, and none in 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 injury (70.2%), death (17.4%) and malfunction (11.8%); across all catheter, percutaneous reports (product code DQY) death is recorded in 2.2% and malfunction in 74.7%.

The device problems coded most often are burst container or vessel (8.7%), detachment of device or device component (1.9%) and deflation problem (1.2%). The patient problems coded most often are occlusion, stenosis and death. 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."
