198 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Cartridge" (set tubing blood with and without anti-regurgitation valve); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Gambro Renal Products De C V; received from March 2013 to March 2022. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
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 malfunction (59.1%), injury (37.4%) and death (3%); across all set, tubing, blood, with and without anti-regurgitation valve reports (product code FJK) death is recorded in 3.8% and malfunction in 75.7%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are fluid/blood leak (26.3%), leak/splash (20.7%) and insufficient device problem information (12.6%). The patient problems coded most often are hemolysis, blood loss and cardiopulmonary arrest. 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."

Brand, generic and manufacturer names are as written on the reports; product code names come from FDA's device classification. A report counts here when any device it lists carries this brand name after punctuation and capitalisation are normalised. No report narrative, lot number, patient detail or reporter identity is published. See the methodology and sources; FDA's record is authoritative, and corrections are handled within five working days.
