Summary
The FDA's MAUDE database contains 63 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00643169001596), received between Jan 3, 2017 and Sep 21, 2026 — classified as 3 deaths, 60 injuries.
The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Insufficient Device Problem Information” (42 reports).
3 other recalls cover devices cleared under the same FDA submission (P990064); they may or may not involve this specific model.
Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event, and counts can't be used to compare devices or estimate failure rates. How this data works · Data updated Oct 13, 2026.
