Device Watch
Your regulatory position rests on devices you
don't control. The predicate your 510(k) cites, the competitor clearing
into your product code, the PMA supplement that quietly changes a rival's
design, the recall that touches a device your strategy depends on — all of it
is on FDA's public record, and almost nobody watches it continuously below the
enterprise price tier.
What one watch monitors (per FDA product code)
- 510(k) clearances — competitor activity in your code, with
the K-numbers each new clearance cites (predicate/reference devices, extracted
from the 510(k) summary documents).
- PMA originals and supplements — the class-3 lane 510(k)
tracking misses; supplements are where design and process changes appear.
- Recalls — FDA's public record, cross-referenced: an alert
flags when a recalled device is cited as a predicate by recent clearances, or
when a recall references a PMA in your watch.
- MAUDE report volumes — monthly adverse-event report counts
with a conservative anomaly check (complete months only, absolute floor, no
alert without history). MAUDE counts are raw report counts, not confirmed
failures and not rates — FDA's own caveats apply, and ours repeat them.
How it arrives. A baseline snapshot at
activation, then change-only email alerts: no email means no new
events. Data refreshes daily from FDA public sources. Coverage is
cardiac-first (436 cardiovascular product codes in the tracked classification corpus.)
Pricing
$199/month per watch — one watch covers up to 3 FDA
product codes. To activate, email
billing@biomedistats.com with the product codes you need watched
(self-serve checkout is coming shortly).
Method: deterministic monitoring of
FDA's public 510(k), PMA, recall and MAUDE databases. Alerts report the public
record; they are not legal or regulatory advice. The monitoring data itself is
available to subscribers only.
