FDA's MAUDE database holds 245 reports that name the brand "Icast Covered Stent" (prosthesis tracheal expandable), received between January 2010 and October 2021; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Atrium Medical. 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 (44.9%), malfunction (42.9%) and death (9.8%); across all prosthesis, tracheal, expandable reports (product code JCT) death is recorded in 3.6% and malfunction in 52.9%.

The device problems coded most often are detachment of device component (14.3%), device dislodged or dislocated (11%) and leak/splash (4.5%). The patient problems coded most often are death, blood loss and renal failure. 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."
