Every FDA device database. One API. Linked by UDI-DI.

// SYSTEM OVERVIEW

FDA Intelligence connects every FDA medical-device database — device registration (GUDID), 510(k)/PMA clearances, MAUDE adverse events, recalls, and manufacturing establishments — into one linked, queryable API. The entire corpus is mirrored locally, so a single call returns a device’s complete regulatory picture.

Every FDA device database exists in isolation, keyed differently, with no shared identifiers. Answering a simple question — “what is this device’s full safety history?” — means manually stitching five sources together. FDA Intelligence does the stitching: it mirrors 115 GB of FDA device data (including all 24.4M MAUDE reports with narratives, refreshed weekly) and links it by UDI-DI and product code. One REST call — or one plain-English question — returns the fully joined record.

Logic Layer

01

GUDID Registry

The linking hub — every device keyed by UDI-DI, carrying the product codes and premarket (510(k)/PMA) numbers that unlock every other source.

02

510(k) / PMA

Clearance and approval history joined by product code and premarket submission number.

03

MAUDE Adverse Events

24.4M reports + 57.8M narratives, mirrored locally with precomputed rollups for instant aggregation.

04

Recalls & Enforcement

Recall records linked by product code and manufacturer, with class and status.

05

Establishments

Manufacturing-site registrations, deduplicated and ranked to the device’s own maker.

06

API + NL Query

One REST call — or a plain-English question — returns the fully linked record, structured and cited.

// FIVE ROLES. ONE LEDGER. — FDI-05
🏢

Device Startups

Regulatory research without a data team. Pull a device’s complete clearance, recall, and adverse-event history in one call while scoping a market, a predicate, or a competitor.

🏥

Hospital Supply Chain

Monitor recalls and safety signals across every device you stock — query by manufacturer, product code, or specific device, and catch Class I recalls the moment they publish.

💻

Health-IT Vendors

Embed live FDA device intelligence in your EHR, procurement, or risk product without building and maintaining six separate ETL pipelines against FDA data.

⚖️

Litigation & Law Firms

Assemble a device’s full regulatory and adverse-event record as cited, defensible evidence — in seconds, not weeks of manual cross-referencing.

🛡

Insurers & Risk Teams

Score device and manufacturer risk from linked recall and adverse-event data, refreshed weekly — inputs no single FDA endpoint can give you.

🔬

Researchers

Post-market surveillance at scale: the entire MAUDE corpus with narratives, joined to devices, manufacturers, and product codes.

// KEY TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATORS

The linking is the moat

Every FDA device database is siloed. We join them on UDI-DI and product code, so you can ask cross-source questions no single FDA API can answer — “recalls on devices made at a facility in the last 3 years” — in one query.

The full corpus, mirrored

115 GB of FDA device data — including all 24.4M MAUDE reports with narratives — mirrored locally and refreshed weekly. Your queries never depend on FDA uptime.

Ask in plain English

A natural-language mode powered by Claude turns “Medtronic cardiac devices recalled since 2023” into structured, cited results. No query language to learn.

Sub-second linked queries

Precomputed rollups turn a 24-million-row adverse-event aggregation into a primary-key lookup — a full linked device report returns in well under a second.

Self-serve, metered API

Free tier through enterprise, with per-account keys, usage metering, and Stripe billing. Get a key and start in minutes — no sales call.

Discoverable by design

Millions of public, SEO-optimized device, manufacturer, and product-code pages make the data findable on the open web — and funnel straight to the API.
