FDA's MAUDE database holds 2,688 reports that name the brand "Visera Elite Video System Center" (video system center), received between March 2015 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Shirakawa Olympus. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

572 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 47% from 389 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 (99.6%) and injury (0.4%); across all endoscopic video imaging system/component, gastroenterology-urology reports (product code FET) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 99.4%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The device problems coded most often are no display/image (43.3%), communication or transmission problem (13.1%) and poor quality image (9.3%). The patient problems coded most often are no patient involvement, appropriate clinical signs, symptoms and conditions term/code not available and full thickness (third degree) burn. 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."
