Summary

The FDA's MAUDE database contains 73 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00643169594968), received between Feb 1, 2017 and Sep 18, 2026 — classified as 3 deaths, 59 injuries, 11 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Insufficient Device Problem Information” (41 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.
