That's not the FDA updated report. It's a report from a journalist with no training in medical journalism. The FDA report can be found here - https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/saf ... called-due
The incidence, prevalence, or cause of an event cannot typically be determined from this reporting system alone due to under-reporting of events, inaccuracies in reports, lack of verification that the device caused the reported event, and lack of information about frequency of device use. ... The FDA continues to review and assess the (Medical Dervice Reports) and will keep the public informed as new information becomes available.
