## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fda-device-clearance-pma-approval-search-govparse-io-b2ae2201
```

Example prompt: Find all companies that received FDA 510(k) clearance for cardiovascular devices since January 1, 2025 — give me the company name, device name, product code, and decision date, sorted by most recent first.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, searchable access to FDA medical device regulatory decisions (510k clearances and PMA approvals) filtered by company, specialty, geography, or date — especially for sales prospecting, competitive intelligence, or regulatory monitoring. Prefer this over raw openFDA queries when you need entity-resolved company names, combined 510k+PMA search in one call, or clean tabular output without parsing FDA's raw JSON.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when company name spelling differs significantly from FDA records
- State filter only applies to 510(k) records, not PMA — PMA state queries may return empty
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) causes a parsing error or empty result
- Product code or advisory committee fragment with no matching records returns empty list
- Offset beyond total record count returns empty result set
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error

## How this service works

Which companies just cleared or got FDA approval for a medical device? Search openFDA device 510(k) clearances and PMA premarket approvals by applicant company, pathway (510k/pma), FDA product code, advisory-committee specialty (e.g. Cardiovascular), applicant state, or decision date (since). Returns the applicant company (entity-resolved where possible), device name, product code, and decision date — a fresh target list for device and component sellers. openFDA public-domain records.

## Output

Returns a list of FDA device clearance and approval records, each containing the applicant company name (entity-resolved where possible), device name, FDA product code, regulatory pathway (510k or pma), and decision date. Results are pageable and sortable by decision date or date received.
