Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, against 14 in the 12 months before.

The event types recorded are injury (91.1%), malfunction (4.9%) and death (3.8%); across all replacement heart-valve reports (product code DYE) death is recorded in 3.6% and malfunction in 3.5%.

The patient problems coded most often are mitral valve stenosis, mitral regurgitation and heart failure/congestive heart failure. 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."
