54,779 medical device reports received by FDA give Olympus Medical Systems as the manufacturer of the device involved, 0.2% of the MAUDE database, from February 2007 to August 2026. Manufacturer names are as written on the report; subsidiaries and spelling variants may appear as separate names.

69 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 15% from 60 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 (89.3%), injury (9.7%) and other (0.6%). Manufacturers are required to report events they learn of, so a large manufacturer with many products in use files many reports. 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."

Does a high count say something about the manufacturer?

Not by itself. Manufacturers must file a report for every event they become aware of, so report volume follows the number of devices in use. 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."

Where this comes from. Counts are built from the openFDA Device Adverse Event (MAUDE) bulk export released 28 Sep 2026, which holds reports FDA received through 31 Aug 2026. Brand, generic and manufacturer names are as written on the reports; product code names come from FDA's device classification. Manufacturer names are pooled after company suffixes (Inc., LLC, GmbH and similar) are dropped; names that read as a person rather than an organisation are never published. 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.
