Medical-device postmarket surveillance for FDA-cleared AI.
Review source-linked MAUDE trends, recalls, re-clearances, warning-letter matches, and disclosed drift signals across FDA's AI-enabled device cohort. Built for postmarket surveillance, quality, and regulatory teams; every signal is an observable, not a safety judgment.
Research method: how to search MAUDE without turning reports into rates
Live cohort — snapshotted AI/ML devices
devices snapshotted — refreshed weekly, rolling
Latest snapshot 2026-08-19
Of devices where the trend is computable.
Own line re-cleared, own applicant's recall, or predicate neighbors.
Includes a software recall anywhere in the device's product code.
Of devices scanned while the letters feed was live.
Every figure is a presencerate with its denominator inline — never pooled across devices. Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (MAUDE reports are not reliably attributable to a specific device). Descriptive only: “this code had N software-related recalls” — never “this device is unsafe.”
Drift signals by kind
MAUDE database search and limitations
Search adverse-event signals without treating reports as incidence
How do I search the FDA MAUDE database for a medical device?
Search by device name, manufacturer, brand, product code, or report number, then read the underlying MDR records. Constat groups public MAUDE trends with the matching FDA product-code cohort and links those observations to clearance and recall context.
Does a MAUDE report prove that a medical device caused an event?
No. MAUDE is a passive-reporting system with incomplete, duplicate, and unverified reports. A report or count is a signal for review, not proof of causation, incidence, prevalence, or device safety.
What is medical-device postmarket surveillance?
Postmarket surveillance is the ongoing review of evidence after a device reaches the market. Depending on scope, that can include adverse-event reports, recalls, re-clearances, safety communications, warning letters, and other source-linked changes.
