FDA's MAUDE database holds 283 reports that name the brand "Reliance Active Fix Dual Coil Is-1/Df-1 59cm" (implantable lead), received between February 2009 and May 2010; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Cpi - Del Caribe. 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 injury (61.8%) and malfunction (38.2%); across all implantable cardioverter defibrillator (non-crt) reports (product code LWS) death is recorded in 2.7% and malfunction in 37.4%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are noise (17.3%), pacing problem (16.6%) and high impedance (15.9%). The patient problems coded most often are surgical procedure, repeated, other (for use when an appropriate patient code cannot be identified) and pocket erosion. 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."
