The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Device Dislodged or Dislocated” (577 reports).

3 other recalls cover devices cleared under the same FDA submission (P950022); 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.
