FDA's MAUDE database holds 159 reports that name the brand "Micromax System Motor" (motor), received between September 2002 and December 2005; the manufacturer given most often on reports is The Anspach Effort. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, and none 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 (100%); across all motor, drill, pneumatic reports (product code HBB) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 96.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are sticking (31.4%), motor failure (11.3%) and fluid/blood leak (9.4%). The patient problems coded most often are surgical procedure aborted/stopped and surgical procedure, delayed. 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."
