FDA's MAUDE database holds 470 reports that name the brand "Cadd Cassette Reservoirs" (set administration intravascular), received between January 2019 and April 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Smiths Medical Asd. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

7 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 133% from 3 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 device alarm system (45.1%), output problem (33.8%) and fluid/blood leak (31.1%). The patient problems coded most often are no patient involvement, fatigue and low oxygen saturation. 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."
