1,075 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "iLab Ultrasound Imaging System" (catheter ultrasound intravascular); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Boston Scientific - Fremont Ce; received from November 2012 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

85 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 193% from 29 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 (98.5%), injury (1.3%) and death (0.2%); across all catheter, ultrasound, intravascular reports (product code OBJ) death is recorded in 1% and malfunction in 85%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are retraction problem (84.6%), no display/image (2.9%) and device displays incorrect message (2%). The patient problems coded most often are no patient involvement, obstruction/occlusion and thrombus. 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."
