Clamp sits #615 of 1000 among tracked device types with 1,235 MAUDE reports spanning 1993–2026. Rank counts report volume, not confirmed device fault. Event_type Death / Injury / Malfunction are one code per report — not the same population as patient-outcome rows ( methodology).

Malfunction reports run above the device-type norm
Clamp carries 96.5% MALFUNCTION-coded reports, 31.7pp above the 1,000-device-type mean, the widest gap of its three event codes. Codes are report labels, not adjudicated causation.
- DEATH 0.0% corpus 1.5% · below corpus mean (-1.5 pp)
- INJ 2.9% corpus 30.3% · below corpus mean (-27.4 pp)
- MALF 96.5% corpus 64.8% · above corpus mean (+31.7 pp)
Lead product-problem code Device-Device Incompatibility is 27% of coded problems · Lead manufacturer DEPUY IRELAND - 9616671 accounts for 34% of manufacturer-tagged reports · Top event location I is 50% of location-tagged rows .

Nationwide devices with a comparable report-volume footprint
Clamp carries zero death-typed MAUDE reports, so the peer set below compares report volume only; both axes are floored at ≥100 reports so the neighborhood stays in the advertised mass.
Similar report volume
Nearest other device types by FDA MAUDE report count (1,235 here).
Similar death-typed counts
Nearest other device types by death-typed report count (0 here), distinct from the volume row.
