What the volume reading shows for COVIDIEN
The standout signal for COVIDIEN is filing volume: 56,472 adverse-event reports in FDA MAUDE (#66 of 434, heavy-book). Death-coded event_type share sits at 1.12% (elevated).
As a heavy-book manufacturer, portfolio size and reporting obligations inflate absolute counts - pair COVIDIEN with device-family pages before treating company totals as a safety verdict. Event_type Death and Injury are one code per report; Patient Outcomes below use a separate FDA population.
Reports span 20 device types, led in this extract by Malfunction at 44,727 (79.2% of event_type total). Peak single-year volume reaches 9,734 reports across 21 years. These are raw FDA submissions, not adjudicated findings. Snapshot . Verify current communications on the FDA MDR page.
