I use this website for work. That search page is certainly dated, but may I suggest there is actually the very similar Devices@FDA: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/SCRIPTS/cdrh/devicesatfda/index.cfm https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/SCRIPTS/cdrh/devicesatfda/ind...
The Devices@FDA is a single search box, while the one the author used breaks out by field, more useful if you know exactly what company name, etc. you're looking for. Also, Devices@FDA searches both 510(k) and PMA's (the other 1%).
As a side note, for a while the Devices@FDA page was not linked from the "databases" root https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/medical-device-databases https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehens.... I emailed them at the comments and feedback link, and they added it within days!
- wcedmisten 3y agoAuthor here! I didn't know about that Devices@FDA search, thanks for the tip! My goal for this project is to create a free/open source website that enhances this 510k data based on the public data dumps. I'd be very interested in hearing about how you use the current website for work, and what improvements would be useful for you! My email is in my about page. The major enhancement is to show predicate device information as a first-class property of each 510k, since right now the data is buried inside various PDFs.
