FDA's MAUDE database holds 187 reports that name the brand "Automix 3+3 Compounder" (i v solution compounder), received between June 1996 and October 2004; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Baxter Healthcare. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

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 malfunction (85%), injury (13.9%) and death (0.5%); across all set, i.v. fluid transfer reports (product code LHI) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 96.3%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are overdelivery (31.6%), other (for use when an appropriate device code cannot be identified) (16%) and underdelivery (12.3%). The patient problems coded most often are hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and fungal infection. 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."
