Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

393 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 248% from 113 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 (97.4%), injury (2.3%) and death (0.3%); across all ultrasound bronchoscope reports (product code PSV) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 93.9%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are no display/image (22.3%), detachment of device or device component (15.4%) and peeled/delaminated (12.1%). The patient problems coded most often are hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, bacterial infection and appropriate clinical signs, symptoms and conditions term/code not available. 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."
