FDA's MAUDE database holds 2,449 reports that name the brand "Endeavor Sprint Rx" (stent coronary drug-eluting), received between April 2008 and December 2022; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Medtronic Ireland. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.
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 injury (61.6%), death (28.5%) and malfunction (9.8%); across all coronary drug-eluting stent reports (product code NIQ) death is recorded in 8.7% and malfunction in 42.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are material deformation (7.6%), device dislodged or dislocated (2.2%) and insufficient device problem information (1.3%). The patient problems coded most often are myocardial infarction, death and stroke/cva. 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."
