FDA's MAUDE database holds 1,659 reports that name the brand "System 97" (iabp), received between June 1996 and September 2005; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Datascope. 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 (97.8%), death (1.7%) and injury (0.2%); across all system, balloon, intra-aortic and control reports (product code DSP) death is recorded in 2.1% and malfunction in 89.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are replace (20.9%), other (for use when an appropriate device code cannot be identified) (5.2%) and leak/splash (4.9%). The patient problems coded most often are therapy/non-surgical treatment, aborted/stopped, therapy/non-surgical treatment/delayed/prolonged and death. 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.
