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.

The event types recorded are malfunction (98.7%) and injury (1.3%); across all console, heart-lung machine, cardiopulmonary bypass reports (product code DTQ) death is recorded in 1.5% and malfunction in 90.5%.

The device problems coded most often are break (16.4%), device operates differently than expected (16.4%) and device displays incorrect message (13.2%). 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."

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. No report narrative, lot number, patient detail or reporter identity is published. See the methodology and sources; FDA's record is authoritative, and corrections are handled within five working days.
