The event types recorded are malfunction (93.4%) and injury (6.6%); across all fastener, fixation, biodegradable, soft tissue reports (product code MAI) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 73.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The patient problems coded most often are foreign body in patient, failure of implant and hypersensitivity/allergic reaction. 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."
