202 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 223 of the 12 months before.

The event types recorded are malfunction (99.9%) and injury (0.1%); across all driver, prosthesis reports (product code HWR) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 97.5%.

The device problems coded most often are break (93.7%), crack (2.8%) and device-device incompatibility (1.3%). The patient problems coded most often are not applicable. 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."
