917 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Prismaflex Sets (M)" (dialyzer high permeability with or without sealed dialysate system); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Baxter Healthcare; received from March 2022 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

287 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 49% from 193 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 (99.5%), injury (0.4%) and death (0.1%); across all dialyzer, high permeability with or without sealed dialysate system reports (product code KDI) death is recorded in 5.9% and malfunction in 64.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are fluid/blood leak (85.6%), break (16.5%) and crack (8.9%). The patient problems coded most often are hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, appropriate clinical signs, symptoms and conditions term/code not available and cardiac arrest. 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."
