FDA's MAUDE database holds 411 reports that name the brand "cobas e 411 analyzer (disk system)" (immunochemistry analyzer), received between April 2022 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Roche Diagnostics. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

90 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 17% from 77 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%) and injury (1%); across all analyzer, chemistry (photometric, discrete), for clinical use reports (product code JJE) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 95.5%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are non reproducible results (52.1%), low test results (50.1%) and high test results (28.7%). The patient problems coded most often are spontaneous abortion and chest pain. 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."
