Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

MAUDE report 50903727 ↗MalfunctionSep 21, 2026Energy Output Problem
A facility reported that a patient who was at high risk for bleeding was scheduled for cholecystectomy following biliary pancreatitis, using the FORCEPS CEV134 BIPOLAR 350MM MOUIEL (CEV134). It was reported that "the surgeon observed suboptimal tissue coagulation. The malfunction persisted despite replacing the cables with new ones and changing the generator. A second forceps was then used successfully to complete the procedure." Although no patient injury was reported, "the incident resulted in poor tissue coagulation efficiency and hemorrhagic dissection, leading to an extension of the procedure by approximately 2 hours. The postoperative course was uneventful; however, the patient was exposed to a significant risk of major hemorrhage.".
