275 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "PRESTIGE Cervical Disc System" (prosthesis intervertebral disc); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Warsaw Orthopedics; received from May 2008 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
20 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 400% from 4 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 injury (71.6%), malfunction (27.6%) and death (0.4%); across all prosthesis, intervertebral disc reports (product code MJO) death is recorded in 0.2% and malfunction in 17.2%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are migration or expulsion of device (10.2%), mechanical problem (5.1%) and inadequacy of device shape and/or size (4.4%). The patient problems coded most often are pain, extraskeletal ossification and neck pain. 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."

Brand, generic and manufacturer names are as written on the reports; product code names come from FDA's device classification. A report counts here when any device it lists carries this brand name after punctuation and capitalisation are normalised.
