The searchable intelligence platform for medical devices

Search any device, company, product code, or FDA market.

MedVantage makes the FDA record searchable. Open source-linked profiles for devices, companies, product codes, and FDA submissions — device descriptions, intended use and indications, IFUs where publicly available, predicate devices, comparison and testing summaries, and regulatory history. Then build FDA Market Maps and monitor what changes.

Research the record. Map the market. Monitor what changes.

The platform

Search once. Open the record behind it.

Most questions don't start with a map — they start with a device, a company, or a product code. MedVantage resolves your search into source-linked profiles you can actually read, each traceable to the FDA filing it came from.

Device profile

FDA device description, intended use and indications, IFU where publicly available, predicate devices, comparison and testing summaries, clearance or approval history, and post-market signals.

Company profile

Every device and submission on the FDA record, the product codes they touch, registered establishments, recalls, warning letters, and full regulatory history — with subsidiaries resolved to one company.

Product-code profile

The classification itself — class, regulation, review panel — plus who is cleared in it, how they got cleared, predicate families, clearance timelines, and post-market risk across the code.

FDA submission

The filing itself: decision and dates, pathway, predicates cited, the summary document, and a link straight to the primary FDA record so you can read the original wording.

Maps and monitoring are built on top of these profiles — not instead of them. Start with a question about one device, or a whole market.
The problem

The FDA records are public. They just don’t connect.

The FDA moves that shape your market sit across public systems — 510(k), PMA, De Novo, MAUDE, recalls, warning letters, registration. They don't connect, so no one holds the current picture. MedVantage assembles them into a single FDA Market Map — companies, devices, and signals in one sourced view.

Not a one-time report that's stale the day it's exported — a map built to stay current as new FDA records appear.

One workflow on the platform

When one profile isn't enough: FDA Market Maps.

Sometimes the question is bigger than a single device. A Market Map rolls the same source-linked profiles up into a view of a whole portfolio, competitor, or category. It's one workflow MedVantage supports — not the whole product.

Company figures below are real, from openFDA. Interfaces are illustrative.

Portfolio Map

Your own FDA footprint, in one view.

Best for tracking your own FDA footprint.

One map of the FDA record around your devices — so nothing about your own portfolio catches you off guard.

  • Devices & product codes
  • Clearances & approvals
  • Predicates
  • Registration & listing
  • Recalls
  • MAUDE activity
  • Warning letters
Example: "Map our FDA footprint across our cleared catheters."

Competitor Map

What a competitor is doing at the FDA.

Best for monitoring competitor FDA movement.

Track a rival's moves as they file — clearances, new entries, and the product codes they're pushing into.

  • Their devices
  • Recent clearances
  • New entrants
  • Predicate usage
  • Product-code movement
  • Recalls
  • MAUDE trends
  • Warning letters
  • Adjacent-category expansion

Market Entry Map

Size a category before you enter it.

Best for evaluating a product code or category before entering.

Evaluate a product code or category you're eyeing — who's in it, how they got cleared, and what the risks look like.

  • Active companies
  • Pathway mix
  • Predicate options
  • Clearance timelines
  • Post-market signals
  • Regulatory risk

How it works

Start with a question, not a dashboard.

Search a device, company, product code, or category. Open the source-linked profiles behind it — descriptions, indications, IFUs, predicates, testing summaries, regulatory history. Roll it into a Market Map when you need the whole field, and monitor it from there.

Step 1
Search a device, company, product code, or category

Start from any device, company, product code, or category in the FDA record.

Step 2
Open source-linked profiles and records

Drill into device, company, and product-code profiles — clearances, predicates, IFUs, recalls, MAUDE, and warning letters, each traceable to its filing.

Step 3
Build a Market Map and monitor changes

Roll it up into a Portfolio, Competitor, or Market Entry Map — and monitor new FDA activity as records appear.

Ongoing value

Your research keeps working after you close it.

Once you have a map, MedVantage is built to monitor its FDA sources and surface new moves for you — a competitor's clearance, a new entrant, a recall, an adverse-event spike, a warning letter. Designed to update as new FDA records appear, so the picture doesn't go stale.

Monitoring

New FDA activity, surfaced to your maps.

Set the devices, competitors, and categories you care about once. New filings that touch them are designed to surface automatically — no re-running searches, no stale exports.

Data & sources

Built on primary FDA records — and it shows its work.

Every profile, figure, and map point is assembled from primary, public FDA records, then connected: companies resolved, predicate chains reconstructed, and each point linked back to the filing behind it. Where the FDA's own wording matters — indications, device descriptions, IFUs — you read the source text, not a paraphrase of it.

Traceable to the filing

Every point traces to a public FDA / openFDA record and links back to it — never third-party estimates standing in for the source.

Entity resolution

Applicant, owner-operator, and brand names are reconciled into a single company — so subsidiaries and legal-entity variants of the same firm count as one.

Predicate reconstruction

Predicate chains locked inside 510(k) summary PDFs are extracted and structured into a queryable lineage.

No black-box summaries

Where the exact FDA wording matters, you get the source text and a link to the original document — not a summary quietly standing in for the record.

The MedVantage difference

Not a black box. The primary FDA record, made searchable.

The FDA records are public — most tools bury them under logins and forty-filter dashboards, or replace them with summaries you can't check. MedVantage gives you readable, source-linked profiles you can defend in a submission or a board meeting.

Searchable

Ask about one device — or a whole market

Search a device, company, product code, or category and open the profile behind it. No forty-filter dashboard to learn first.

Readable

The record, not a paraphrase

Descriptions, indications, IFUs where public, predicates, comparison and testing summaries — the FDA's own wording, with the document one click away.

Auditable

Traceable to the filing

Every figure links back to the primary FDA record behind it — nothing you can't defend in a submission or a diligence call.

Who it's for

Who researches the FDA record.

Built for emerging and mid-market device companies and the consultants who work with them — anyone who needs to know what the FDA says about a device, a company, or a market.
