Medical Device Adverse Event Tracker — FDA MAUDE Reports

Search FDA MAUDE (Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience) adverse event reports by device name and event type. These are raw incident reports — malfunctions, injuries, deaths associated with a device — not official recalls, and often the earliest public signal of a device problem.

Built for hospital risk management, device safety teams, and researchers who want to know what's being reported before it becomes an official recall.

Input

{
"deviceName": "insulin pump",
"eventType": "all",
"daysBack": 30,
"maxResults": 25
}
FieldTypeDescription
deviceNamestring (optional)Free-text search across the device's generic name.
eventTypestring"all", "Malfunction", "Injury", or "Death". Default "all".
daysBacknumberHow many days back from today to search, by date received by FDA. Default 30, max 365.
maxResultsnumberMax reports to return, most recently received first. Default 25, max 100.

Output

One record per report:

{
"reportNumber": "2124215-2026-35065",
"eventType": "Injury",
"dateReceived": "2026-07-01",
"dateOfEvent": "2026-06-19",
"deviceGenericName": "PACEMAKER",
"deviceBrandName": null,
"manufacturer": "MEDTRONIC",
"productProblemFlag": true,
"reporterOccupation": "PHYSICIAN"
}

A search with no matching reports returns no items but is still billed once for the search.

How it works

Direct calls to the official openFDA Device Adverse Event API (api.fda.gov) — no proxy, no key, no scraping.

Note: these are unverified reports submitted by manufacturers, health professionals, and consumers — FDA publishes them as filed, without confirming a device caused the reported outcome. Treat volume and pattern as a signal worth investigating, not proof of a defect.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per report returned — one charge whether the search returns 0 reports or 100.

  • Vehicle Complaint Lookup: the same raw-complaints-before-recall pattern for vehicles instead of medical devices
