281 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Summit Standard Imp Inserter" (hip instruments impactors); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Depuy Orthopaedics US; received from May 2014 to December 2025. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

15 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 25% from 20 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 (99.3%) and injury (0.7%); across all driver, prosthesis reports (product code HWR) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 97.5%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are device-device incompatibility (38.8%), break (22.8%) and naturally worn (22.4%). The patient problems coded most often are limb fracture, not applicable and device embedded in tissue or plaque. 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."
