## 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 saylor-innovations-data-desk-fda-maude-medical-device-event-reports-73e5abfe
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the FDA MAUDE adverse event report summary for pacemakers — I want to see total reports, how many were deaths or injuries vs malfunctions, and which manufacturers show up most?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need aggregated FDA MAUDE adverse event statistics — death, injury, and malfunction counts with manufacturer breakdowns — for a specific medical device type. Prefer this over raw FDA API access when you want pre-aggregated counts and ranked manufacturer lists in a single call rather than parsing raw event records yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unrecognized device type returns empty or zero-count results
- Misspelled device name may not match FDA taxonomy, returning no data
- FDA MAUDE database connectivity issues may return null source or stale checked_at
- Very niche or newly classified device types may have sparse records
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402
