15,784 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Liberty Select Cycler Assy Non-Valuated" (system peritoneal automatic delivery); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Concord Manufacturing; received from November 2017 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

1,174 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 18% from 1,438 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 (75.4%), injury (21%) and death (3.6%); across all system, peritoneal, automatic delivery reports (product code FKX) death is recorded in 2.1% and malfunction in 85.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are fluid/blood leak (37.2%), thermal decomposition of device (30.5%) and overfill (6.7%). The patient problems coded most often are peritonitis, abdominal pain and no patient involvement. 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."
