199 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Reliance Sg Active Fix Single Coil 64cm" (implantable lead); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Cpi - Del Caribe; received from February 2009 to May 2010. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

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 (67.3%) and malfunction (32.7%); 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 normal (20.1%), high impedance (19.6%) and dislodged (16.6%). The patient problems coded most often are other (for use when an appropriate patient code cannot be identified), surgical procedure, repeated and surgery, prolonged. 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."
