308 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Pinn Poly Extractor" (hip instruments extraction instruments); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Depuy Orthopaedics US; received from January 2014 to March 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

23 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 23 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 (99.7%) and injury (0.3%); across all extractor reports (product code HWB) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 93%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are break (63%), material deformation (11%) and material twisted/bent (7.1%). The patient problems coded most often are not applicable. 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."
