What are FDA adverse event reports for Catheter, Percutaneous, Neurovasculature?

The FDA's MAUDE (Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience) database collects reports of adverse events involving medical devices. For Catheter, Percutaneous, Neurovasculature, there are 1,669 total reports including 47 death reports and 263 injury reports. These reports are submitted by manufacturers, healthcare facilities, and patients. A high number of reports does not necessarily mean a device is unsafe, widely used devices naturally generate more reports.

How should I interpret MAUDE data for Catheter, Percutaneous, Neurovasculature?

MAUDE reports are raw adverse event submissions, not confirmed safety findings. A report that a device was involved in a death does not mean the device caused the death. Reports vary in quality and completeness. The FDA uses MAUDE data as one input among many in its safety surveillance, it does not draw conclusions from individual reports. Always consult your healthcare provider about device safety questions.
