FDA's MAUDE database holds 184 reports that name the brand "BD Maxzero extension set" (intravascular administration set), received between January 2022 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Sistemas Medicos Alaris De C V. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

102 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 386% from 21 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 set, administration, intravascular reports (product code FPA) death is recorded in 0.2% and malfunction in 79.3%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are leak/splash (33.2%), complete blockage (16.3%) and crack (14.7%). The patient problems coded most often are hypersensitivity/allergic reaction, chemical exposure and exposure to body fluids. 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."
