482 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Gst Green Reload 60mm 6 Row" (staple implantable); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Ethicon Endo-Surgery; received from August 2017 to March 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

46 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 23% from 60 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 (93.4%), injury (6%) and death (0.6%); across all staple, implantable reports (product code GDW) death is recorded in 0.6% and malfunction in 80.3%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are failure to form staple (31.7%), failure to fire (19.1%) and device markings/labelling problem (9.3%). The patient problems coded most often are failure to anastomose, hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding and blood loss. 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."
