FDA's MAUDE database holds 259 reports that name the brand "Clearlink/Duo-Vent" (set administration intravascular), received between March 2017 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Baxter Healthcare. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

113 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 57% from 72 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 (97.3%), injury (2.3%) and death (0.4%); across all set, administration, intravascular reports (product code FPA) death is recorded in 0.2% and malfunction in 79.3%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are fluid/blood leak (45.6%), detachment of device or device component (10.4%) and disconnection (6.9%). The patient problems coded most often are appropriate clinical signs, symptoms and conditions term/code not available, hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding and arrhythmia. 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."
