Summary

The FDA's MAUDE database contains 185 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00681490110716), received between Dec 9, 2016 and Sep 8, 2026 — classified as 3 deaths, 126 injuries, 56 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “High Capture Threshold” (53 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 18, 2026.
