764 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "UltiPace Lead, 58cm MRI" (no match); the manufacturer given most often on reports is St Jude Medical Crm-Sylmar; received from January 2024 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.

427 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 41% from 302 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 injury (58.5%), malfunction (40.3%) and death (1.2%); across all drug eluting permanent right ventricular (rv) or right atrial (ra) pacemaker electrodes reports (product code NVN) death is recorded in 2.2% and malfunction in 41.6%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are device dislodged or dislocated (33.1%), failure to capture (25.4%) and capturing problem (15.8%). The patient problems coded most often are cardiac perforation, arrhythmia and discomfort. 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."
