FDA's MAUDE database holds 714 reports that name the brand "Servo Ventilator 300" (ventilator), received between August 1996 and November 2014; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Maquet Critical Care. 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 malfunction (94.5%), injury (3.2%) and death (0.8%); across all ventilator, continuous, facility use reports (product code CBK) death is recorded in 1.1% and malfunction in 91.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are smoking (18.6%), replace (13.2%) and failure to cycle (10.6%). The patient problems coded most often are manual ventilation required, no patient involvement and therapy/non-surgical treatment, aborted/stopped. 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."
