830 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Magic3 Go Intermittent Urinary Catheter" (intermittent catheter); the manufacturer given most often on reports is C R Bard Covington -1018233; received from February 2017 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

9 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 64% from 25 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 (68.8%) and injury (31.2%); across all catheter, straight reports (product code EZD) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 71.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are product quality problem (22.2%), difficult to insert (10.2%) and patient-device incompatibility (10%). The patient problems coded most often are urinary tract infection, 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."
