What the Data Shows About Stimulator, Low Electric Field, Tumor Treatment

The FDA MAUDE database aggregates 680 adverse-event reports for Stimulator, Low Electric Field, Tumor Treatment spanning the period from 2012 through 2026. Of these, 26 are classified as death reports, 638 as injury reports, and 1 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 4 distinct event types and 9 reported patient-outcome categories, giving a multi-dimensional view that goes beyond a single headline number. A total of 6 distinct product-problem codes appear in the reports, with Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem topping the list at 608 reports. Reports are associated with 9 different manufacturers in the MAUDE record, reflecting both OEMs and repackagers of this device category.

Annual reporting volume is tracked across 15 years of MAUDE data, with the peak single-year volume reaching 245 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 5 reported care-setting categories (hospital, home, ambulatory surgery center, etc.). All figures reflect the openFDA MAUDE snapshot last refreshed on .
