27 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 48% from 52 in the 12 months before.

The event types recorded are malfunction (98.3%) and injury (1.7%); across all catheter and tip, suction reports (product code JOL) death is recorded in 0.6% and malfunction in 86.4%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The patient problems coded most often are necrosis, not applicable and hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding. 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."
