# Ongoing medical-device recalls

**Use case:** 

Medical-device recalls FDA currently lists as Ongoing, initiated in the last 60 days, sorted by recall initiation date. Each row carries class, recalling firm, product description, model/lot info, reason for recall and distribution — what a hospital, clinic or distributor needs to check inventory against. Add firm names or keywords (pump, catheter, sterility) to narrow it.

## Input

```json
{
  "productTypes": [
    "device"
  ],
  "classifications": [
    "Class I",
    "Class II"
  ],
  "statuses": [
    "Ongoing"
  ],
  "dateField": "recall_initiation_date",
  "lookbackDays": 60,
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [FDA Recalls & Enforcement Monitor](https://apify.com/anywhere-web-repair/fda-recalls-monitor.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/anywhere-web-repair/fda-recalls-monitor.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
