## 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 suverse-openfda-device-classification-search-2a619f1d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the FDA device classifications dataset for records matching 'pacemaker' and show me the product code, regulatory class, and submission type for each result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search the US FDA Device Classifications dataset without managing an FDA API key, especially in pharmaceutical, medical device compliance, or safety research contexts. Prefer this over direct openFDA API calls when operating in an agent environment that uses x402 micropayment billing. Best suited for structured lookup of device regulatory class, product codes, and submission requirements.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed search expression returns empty results or an error
- No matching records found for the given query returns empty result set
- openFDA upstream API unavailable causes proxy timeout or 5xx error
- Rate limiting from upstream FDA API may cause temporary failures
- Overly broad search expression may return truncated or paginated results without full dataset

## How this service works

Query the openFDA Device Classifications dataset by search expression, no key, US FDA public data. Returns matching records with structured fields. For AI agents in pharma, device, and safety research.

## Output

Returns an array of matching FDA Device Classification records from the openFDA dataset. Each record includes structured fields such as device name, product code, medical specialty, regulatory class (I, II, or III), submission type (e.g., 510k, PMA), FDA review panel, definition, and other classification metadata.
