285 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Corox Otw-S 85-Bp" (lv lead); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Biotronik Se & Kg; received from July 2008 to May 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

4 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 43% from 7 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 injury (56.8%), malfunction (39.6%) and other (1.8%); across all drug eluting permanent left ventricular (lv) pacemaker electrode reports (product code OJX) death is recorded in 3.5% and malfunction in 40.2%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are device dislodged or dislocated (27.4%), failure to capture (14%) and insufficient device problem information (8.4%). The patient problems coded most often are muscle stimulation, sepsis and twiddlers syndrome. 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."
