Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## FDA Medical Device Establishment Registration Scraper Extract structured establishment and manufacturer data from the **openFDA Device Registration & Listing database** — the authoritative source for FDA-registered medical device manufacturers, importers, and contract manufacturers. This Actor fetches device establishment registrations and provides powerful filtering by state, country, firm name, and product code. The openFDA Device Registration & Listing data is maintained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the official registry of all establishments that manufacture, import, or contract-manufacture medical devices for the U.S. market. Regulatory professionals, quality assurance teams, procurement specialists, and business development professionals rely on this data for supply chain verification, competitive intelligence, and product sourcing. ### Key Features - **Complete device establishment registration extraction** — Access FDA-registered manufacturers, importers, repackagers, and distributors - **State filtering** — Narrow results to specific US states (e.g., "CA", "TX", "NY") - **Country filtering** — Filter by ISO country codes (e.g., "US", "DE", "JP") - **Firm name search** — Case-insensitive partial matching on establishment names - **Product code filtering** — Isolate establishments by FDA device classification product codes (e.g., "MQP", "LLL") - **Comprehensive product data** — Extract product codes, device names, medical specialty classifications, and regulatory information - **Contact information** — Owner/operator firm names and regulatory correspondent contact details - **No authentication required** — Free public openFDA API, no credentials needed - **Batch-optimized output** — Clean JSON ready for supply chain analysis, RAG pipelines, or business intelligence platforms ### Output Data Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `firmName` | string | Establishment name (manufacturer, importer, etc.) | | `registrationNumber` | string | FDA registration number for this establishment | | `feiNumber` | string | Facility Establishment Identifier (FEI) number | | `establishmentType` | string | Establishment type(s), e.g., "Manufacturer; Importer" | | `addressLine1` | string | Street address (line 1) | | `addressLine2` | string | Street address (line 2, if applicable) | | `city` | string | City name | | `stateCode` | string | US state code (2-letter) or province | | `countryCode` | string | ISO 3166-1 country code | | `zipCode` | string | Postal code / ZIP code | | `ownerOperatorFirm` | string | Parent company or owner operator firm name | | `correspondentName` | string | Regulatory correspondent (official contact) name | | `correspondentPhone` | string | Regulatory correspondent phone number | | `proprietaryNames` | string | Proprietary product names (brand names) | | `productCodes` | string | Comma-separated FDA device product codes (e.g., "MQP, LLL, OPN") | | `deviceNames` | string | Device classification names (e.g., "Infusion pump", "X-ray tube") | | `medicalSpecialties` | string | Medical specialty descriptions (e.g., "General and Plastic Surgery", "Orthopedic") | | `registrationExpiryYear` | string | Registration expiry year (YYYY) | ### How to Scrape FDA Device Manufacturer Registrations #### Step-by-Step Tutorial 1. **Navigate to the Actor** — Open the FDA Medical Device Establishment Registration Scraper on the Apify Store. 2. **Start the Run** — Click **Start** to open the input configuration form. 3. **(Optional) Filter by State** — Enter a 2-letter US state code (e.g., "CA", "TX") to narrow results to a specific state.

This Actor extracts registrations with their associated product data. **Q: Can I filter by multiple criteria at once?** A: Yes. You can combine state, country, firm name, and product code filters in a single run. The Actor applies API-level search (for firm name and product code) and client-side filtering (for state and country). **Q: What if a firm has multiple establishments?** A: Each establishment appears as a separate record. You may see multiple registrations from the same firm if they operate multiple facilities. **Q: Are imports/importers included?** A: Yes. The `establishmentType` field indicates whether an establishment is a manufacturer, importer, repackager, distributer, or combination thereof. **Q: How often is the openFDA data updated?** A: The FDA updates device registration data continuously as new establishments register and existing registrations change. The Actor retrieves the latest data from the live openFDA API. **Q: What does "ISO country code" mean?** A: ISO 3166-1 is the international standard for country codes. US = United States, DE = Germany, JP = Japan, etc. Use a 2-letter code. ### Legal Disclaimer This Actor extracts publicly available data from the U.S. FDA's openFDA database. All data is in the public domain. This Actor is for informational and research purposes only. Users are responsible for compliance with applicable laws and regulations regarding the use of medical device manufacturer data.
