Structured extraction of FDA medical-device recall records (Class I/II/III) from openFDA. Device name, recall reason, recalling firm, distribution scope, severity. Built for MedTech competitive intelligence, regulatory-affairs teams, and post-market surveillance.
What this Actor does
Data source: openFDA Device Recalls. Public, no key required (2k req/day per IP).
Output is one JSON record per result, conforming to the azureblue/medical-core envelope so you can join across our other actors on sourceUrl and dataHash.
Use Cases
1. MedTech CI on competitor recalls
A MedTech CI analyst tracks competitor device recalls in real time. A new Class I recall on a competitor's pacemaker is a market-share signal — act on it in days, not the 8 weeks it takes for trade press to cover it.
2. Hospital materials management
A hospital biomedical-engineering team monitors active recalls on devices they own. Match by device name / manufacturer / 510(k) — patient-safety remediation in days instead of relying on FDA email blasts.
3. Post-market PV signal for incumbents
A device manufacturer monitors recall trends on their own + similar devices. Used as a leading indicator for their internal PV signal management.
