Updated January 27, 2010. Read from openFDA bulk downloads (device registration and listing, 510(k), PMA, recall and enforcement files). CC0 1.0, public domain (openFDA terms of service). The files are joined on FDA identifiers: the 510(k) and PMA numbers a registration lists, and the recalling firm's FEI for recalls. Recall class comes from the FDA enforcement report. The FDA states that openFDA data is unvalidated and is not for decisions about medical care. Free to reuse with credit to SpecStream under CC BY 4.0. Spot a wrong value?
