650 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "EndoVive Safety PEG Kit" (tubes gastrointestinal and accessories); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Boston Scientific; received from December 2007 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
23 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 28% from 32 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 (81.4%), injury (17.8%) and death (0.8%); across all tubes, gastrointestinal (and accessories) reports (product code KNT) death is recorded in 2.4% and malfunction in 47%.

The device problems coded most often are break (26%), detachment of device component (16.5%) and obstruction of flow (15.8%). The patient problems coded most often are laceration(s) of esophagus, peritonitis and death. 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."
