Summary

The FDA's MAUDE database contains 17 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 04035479100476), received between Mar 20, 2019 and Apr 3, 2024 — classified as 1 death, 2 injuries, 14 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “High impedance” (7 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.
