Summary

The FDA's MAUDE database contains 386 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00802526523304), received between Mar 29, 2017 and Sep 28, 2026 — classified as 5 deaths, 310 injuries, 71 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “High impedance” (105 reports).

28 other recalls cover devices cleared under the same FDA submission (P150012); 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.
