Summary

The FDA's MAUDE database contains 72 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 04035479077877), received between Jun 27, 2018 and Apr 9, 2026 — classified as 1 death, 22 injuries, 49 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “High impedance” (17 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.
