267 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Arrow Hemodialysis Kit 2-L 15 Fr X 19 Cm" (catheter hemodialysis impla); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Arrow International; received from January 2017 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

40 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 45% from 73 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 malfunction (97.8%), injury (1.9%) and death (0.4%); across all catheter, hemodialysis, implanted reports (product code MSD) death is recorded in 2.6% and malfunction in 75.8%.

The device problems coded most often are crack (54.7%), fluid/blood leak (15%) and break (9.7%). The patient problems coded most often are hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, air embolism and blood loss. 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."
