How this service works
[3-LEG] Medical device recall chain, one product line (?entity=philips-dreamstation-cpap): leading recall pressure signals -> current current clearance status -> realized lifecycle from cleared to recalled to withdrawn (confirmation gate). A chain, not one reading: confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: US FDA. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed. $0.25 per call.
Output
A JSON object containing a 3-leg sequential chain: leg 1 is leading recall pressure signals, leg 2 is current FDA clearance status, and leg 3 is the realized lifecycle stage (cleared → recalled → withdrawn). Includes a confidence score reflecting how many legs are lit in order. Returns 422 no_charge if no data is available (no billing on empty responses).
Example use cases
Philips CPAP recall risk check
“What's the current recall chain status for the Philips DreamStation CPAP? I need to see all three legs — recall pressure, clearance status, and lifecycle stage.”
Breast implant recall lifecycle audit
“Pull the medical device recall chain for the Allergan Biocell breast implant — I want to know how many recall legs are lit and whether it's been fully withdrawn.”
Orthopedic implant compliance monitoring
“Check the FDA recall chain for the Exactech Optetrak knee system — what's the recall pressure signal showing and is it still cleared or has it been withdrawn?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.truthbear.co/gauge/meddevice-regionWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, multi-leg recall signal data for a specific FDA-regulated medical device product line, particularly when you want to assess both leading pressure indicators and confirmed lifecycle status together. Prefer this over general FDA search tools when you need a confidence-scored chain rather than a single data point, and when you need no-charge handling of missing data built in.
Side effects
- 422 no_charge returned when no data is available for the requested entity — call is not billed
- Invalid or unrecognized entity ID causes no data match
- Entity not in the supported catalog of ~20 monitored device product lines
- Partial confidence score if only some legs have signal (e.g., leg 1 lit but legs 2-3 unavailable)
- Network or upstream FDA data latency causing stale signals
