597 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Velys Saw Interface Left" (orthopedic stereotaxic instrument); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Depuy Ireland; received from March 2022 to August 2026. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
125 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, down 32% from 183 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 (100%); across all orthopedic stereotaxic instrument reports (product code OLO) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 81.6%.

The device problems coded most often are device slipped (87.9%), device-device incompatibility (6.7%) and loose or intermittent connection (5.2%). 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."
