Summary

The FDA's MAUDE database contains 796 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00643169309722), received between Dec 9, 2016 and Sep 30, 2026 — classified as 10 deaths, 491 injuries, 295 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Over-Sensing” (337 reports).

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. What reports can and can't tell you · How this data works · Data updated Oct 16, 2026.
