270 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Attune Fb Cr Artic Surf Sz6" (attune instruments tibial trials); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Depuy Ireland - 9616671; received from February 2015 to June 2026.

31 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 32 of the 12 months before.

The event types recorded are malfunction (98.9%) and injury (1.1%); across all template reports (product code HWT) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 96.7%.

The patient problems coded most often are not applicable and foreign body in patient. 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."
