🏥 openFDA Medical Device Events Scraper

🚀 Export the official FDA medical-device safety dataset in seconds. Pull 10,000,000+ MAUDE post-market reports filtered by device, manufacturer, event type, or date range. No login, no daily quota juggling, no schema guesswork.

The openFDA Medical Device Events Scraper exports MAUDE (Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience) post-market device adverse events and returns 22 fields per record, including report identifiers, dates of event and receipt, device generic and brand names, manufacturer details, product problems, patient outcomes, and the full event narrative. MAUDE is the foundation of U.S. medical-device post-market surveillance.

The catalog covers every device adverse-event report published by the FDA, from infusion pumps and insulin pumps to imaging systems and implants. This Actor turns the live device safety feed into a downloadable dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. Filtering happens at source, so you skip the paging and field-name spelunking entirely.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Medtech QA and post-market surveillance teams, FDA compliance officers, recall researchers, device-safety analysts, biomedical engineers, health-tech investors, investigative journalists	Signal detection, post-market surveillance reports, competitor recall trackers, narrative-text mining, complaint-handling dashboards, investigative reporting on device safety

📋 What the openFDA Medical Device Events Scraper does

Six filtering workflows in a single run:

🏥 Device generic-name filter. Restrict to one device category, e.g. INFUSION PUMP, INSULIN PUMP, CATHETER.
🏷️ Brand-name filter. Restrict to a device brand or trade name.
🏭 Manufacturer filter. Substring match on manufacturer company, e.g. MEDTRONIC, BAXTER, ABBOTT.
🚨 Event-type filter. Malfunction, Injury, Death, Other, or No answer provided.
📅 Event-date from. Lower bound on event date, format YYYYMMDD.
📅 Event-date to. Upper bound on event date, format YYYYMMDD.

Each record includes the report number, MDR key, event type, four dates (event, received, report, added), event location, product-problem flag and full problems list, report source, reporter country, manufacturer name and city, the full device array, patient outcomes, patient count, and the free-text event narrative.

💡 Why it matters: device safety signals hide in the narrative text. Building a parser yourself means handling decades of MAUDE submission drift, manufacturer name aliasing, and multi-patient structure. This Actor skips that work and keeps the dataset fresh on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: dateAdded, dateChanged, dateOfEvent, dateReceived, dateReport, devices, eventLocation, eventText, eventType, manufacturerCity, manufacturerName, mdrReportKey, patientCount, patients, productProblemFlag, productProblems, reporterCountry, reportNumber, reportSource, scrapedAt, typeOfReport. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
