Did you know that the FDA maintains a:

Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience Database (MAUDE). MAUDE
has data on reports of adverse events involving medical devices. The
data consists of voluntary, facility, distributor and manufacturer
reports. An on-line search facility is available that enables the user
to search the CDRH (Center for Device and Radiological Health) database
for information on medical devices which may have malfunctioned or
caused a death or serious injury.
