Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

31,674 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 556% from 4,832 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 (83.1%) and injury (16.9%); across all alternate controller enabled insulin infusion pump reports (product code QFG) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 88.9%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are pumping stopped (37.2%), obstruction of flow (34.3%) and mechanical problem (6.4%). The patient problems coded most often are hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and elevated ketones/ diabetic ketoacidosis. 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."
