FDA's MAUDE database holds 188 reports that name the brand "Maxi Sky 600" (lift patient non-ac-powered), received between April 2007 and May 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Arjohuntleigh Magog. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

7 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 7 of 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 (69.1%), injury (26.1%) and death (2.7%); across all lift, patient, non-ac-powered reports (product code FSA) death is recorded in 2.8% and malfunction in 67.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are detachment of device component (16%), detachment of device or device component (9.6%) and break (8%). The patient problems coded most often are fall, bone fracture(s) and bruise/contusion. 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."
