What the Data Shows About Sensor, Glucose, Implanted, Non-Adjunctive Use

The FDA MAUDE database aggregates 2,170 adverse-event reports for Sensor, Glucose, Implanted, Non-Adjunctive Use spanning the period from 2020 through 2026. Of these, 0 are classified as death reports, 1,128 as injury reports, and 1,042 as malfunction reports under FDA adverse-event categorization rules. Report counts do not by themselves indicate a device is unsafe, widely used devices and longer market histories naturally generate larger raw counts, so proportional and comparative reads are more informative than totals alone.

The adverse-event profile breaks down across 2 distinct event types and 4 reported patient-outcome categories, giving a multi-dimensional view that goes beyond a single headline number. A total of 20 distinct product-problem codes appear in the reports, with Imprecision topping the list at 657 reports. Reports are associated with 5 different manufacturers in the MAUDE record, reflecting both OEMs and repackagers of this device category.

Annual reporting volume is tracked across 7 years of MAUDE data, with the peak single-year volume reaching 915 reports - trend shape often reflects changes in device adoption, reporting rules, or FDA enforcement focus rather than underlying device behavior alone. Events are documented across 1 reported care-setting category (hospital, home, ambulatory surgery center, etc.). All figures reflect the openFDA MAUDE snapshot last refreshed on .
