## 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-clearances-pma-approvals-bulk-feed-f51ae9a6
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest FDA 510k clearances and PMA approvals from govparse since January 1 2025, filtered to cardiovascular advisory committee applicants, and give me the first 500 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need bulk, structured, up-to-date FDA medical device clearance and approval data (510k and PMA) with flexible filtering by applicant, geography, product code, or advisory committee. Prefer it over manually querying openFDA when you need cursor-based pagination up to 1000 records/page, a clean newest-first feed, or a commercial-grade parsed output. Use the sibling drug approval feed for pharmaceutical approvals instead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid product code returns empty result set
- Malformed date in 'since' parameter returns 400 error
- Invalid pathway value (not '510k' or 'pma') returns 400 error
- Stale or tampered cursor returns 400 or unexpected results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429
- No records matching filters returns empty rows array

## How this service works

Which medical devices did the FDA just clear or approve, and who is the applicant? Bulk feed over openFDA 510(k) clearances and PMA approvals, newest-first by decision date — a new clearance is a device launch. Cursor-paginated up to 1000/page, filterable by applicant, state, product code, pathway (510k/pma), advisory committee, or since. Rows carry the applicant, device name, product code, advisory committee, pathway, and decision. Observational public records, never a recommendation.

## Output

A cursor-paginated list of FDA device clearance and approval records, each containing the applicant name, device name, FDA product code, advisory committee, regulatory pathway (510k or PMA), and decision date, plus a next_cursor token for fetching subsequent pages. Records are ordered newest-first by decision date.
