Use of summary reports increased from 808 to 1757 between 2020 and 2024, a factor of 1.21 per year (P&lt;0.001). Most (91%) adverse events in summary reports were for class 3 high risk devices. Summary reports lacked descriptions of potential device related problems: 57% of reports denoted an \u201cadverse event without identified device or use problem\u201d and 38% of reports selected \u201cinsufficient information\u201d in the device problem code data field. Manufacturers incorrectly checked \u201cN\u201d (no) in the summary report (Y\/N, reporting yes\/no) field for 694 summary reports (11%) and erroneously listed \u201cn=1\u201d under the number of events field for 423 summary reports (7%), causing an undercount of 11\u2009902 adverse events. The majority (55%) of summary reports failed to comply with the FDA reporting deadline of 30 days after the manufacturer became aware of the adverse event.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adverse event summary reports in MAUDE are frequently incomplete, inaccurate, and delayed.
