634 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Cardiosave Hybrid 3 1 Edition" (system balloon intra-aortic and control); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Datascope; received from August 2018 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

245 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 25% from 196 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 (99.2%), death (0.6%) and injury (0.2%); across all system, balloon, intra-aortic and control reports (product code DSP) death is recorded in 2.1% and malfunction in 89.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are gas/air leak (15.6%), display or visual feedback problem (7.9%) and overheating of device (6.3%). The patient problems coded most often are appropriate clinical signs, symptoms and conditions term/code not available, cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation. 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."
