953 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "AutoPulseResuscitation System" (cardiac resuscitator line-powered); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Zoll Circulation; received from August 2023 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

334 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 25% from 446 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 (100%); across all compressor, cardiac, external reports (product code DRM) death is recorded in 1.8% and malfunction in 95.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are visual prompts will not clear (75.2%), display or visual feedback problem (5%) and no display/image (4.2%). 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."
