FDA's MAUDE database holds 4,247 reports that name the brand "Capsurefix Mri Surescan" (drug eluting permanent right ventricular rv or right atrial ra pacemaker ele), received between September 2011 and August 2023; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Mpri. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, and none 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 (62.7%), malfunction (34.5%) and death (2.8%); across all drug eluting permanent right ventricular (rv) or right atrial (ra) pacemaker electrodes reports (product code NVN) death is recorded in 2.2% and malfunction in 41.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are over-sensing (17.3%), high capture threshold (16%) and under-sensing (15.1%). The patient problems coded most often are cardiac perforation, death and pericardial effusion. 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."
