FDA's MAUDE database holds 212 reports that name the brand "CapSure VDD-2 Lead" (implantable pacemaker pulse-generator), received between June 2019 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Mpri. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

23 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 38% from 37 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 injury (65.6%), malfunction (34%) and death (0.5%); across all implantable pacemaker pulse-generator reports (product code DXY) death is recorded in 3.4% and malfunction in 41.2%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are under-sensing (22.6%), over-sensing (17%) and signal artifact/noise (15.6%). The patient problems coded most often are syncope/fainting, bradycardia and dizziness. 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."
