504 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Power Module For Trauma Recon System" (battery replacement rechargeable); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Synthes; received from May 2013 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

51 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 50% from 34 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 battery, replacement, rechargeable reports (product code MOQ) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 98.9%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are unintended system motion (29.6%), complete loss of power (25.6%) and fail-safe problem (21.2%). The patient problems coded most often are 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."
