627 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Citadel Plus" (bed ac-powered adjustable hospital); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Arjohuntleigh Polska Sp Z O O; received from March 2017 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

87 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 28% from 121 in the 12 months before.

The patient problems coded most often are fall, physical entrapment and no patient involvement. 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."
