1,312 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "CADD legacy 1 pump" (pump infusion); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Smiths Medical Asd; received from February 2019 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

23 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 84% from 143 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 (99.6%), death (0.2%) and injury (0.2%); across all pump, infusion reports (product code FRN) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 98.5%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are device alarm system (36.8%), insufficient flow or under infusion (13%) and output problem (10.7%). The patient problems coded most often are no patient involvement, dizziness and fatigue. 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."
