The Data Is Growing Faster Than Any Team Can Read It

The cost of missing a signal isn't a fine. It's a recall.

Everything You Need

Your Team Makes Decisions. DeviceWatch Does Everything Else.

Not another eQMS. A purpose-built surveillance engine that feeds your existing quality system better data, faster, from FDA adverse events to provisional reports for your review.

Monitor

Never Search MAUDE Again

Add your product codes once. DeviceWatch checks FDA MAUDE on a schedule and matches available records to your products. Coverage and freshness views show what has been collected and what still needs processing.

See What Competitors Can't Hide

Track adverse events on competing devices alongside your own. When a regulator asks "how does your safety profile compare?", you'll have the answer ready.

Critical Signals, Not Noise

Critical analyses enter a delivery queue for eligible email and webhook destinations. Delivery status shows retries and held attempts; detection depends on source updates and analysis coverage.

Your Weekly Intelligence Briefing

Scheduled email digests group available analyses by severity. Delivery depends on your preferences, current analysis coverage and successful processing.

AI That Reads 10,000 Narratives So You Don't Have To

Each adverse event report contains dense clinical narrative buried in FDA formatting. Claude AI extracts reported failure modes, severity and patient outcomes when the narrative is processed. Unknown findings stay visible.

AI Finds It. You Verify It.

No black-box automation. Every AI-generated summary lands in a human review queue where your team acknowledges, flags, or rejects each finding. Full audit trail included.

From Raw Data to Boardroom-Ready Charts

Interactive dashboards show event frequency, severity trends, and emerging failure patterns over time. Share a link with leadership instead of building another slide deck.

Signal Detection Engine

Our automated anomaly detection identifies volume spikes, shifting severity patterns, and emerging failure clusters before they become regulatory findings, so you escalate proactively, not defensively.

Act

PSURs That Used to Take Weeks Now Take Days

Auto-generated periodic safety update reports with trend analysis, signal summaries, and data pre-formatted for regulatory submission. Your team reviews and signs off. The grunt work is done.

CAPA Documentation Without the Data Hunt

Corrective action templates pre-populated from your adverse event data. Start documenting the moment a signal is confirmed, not after days of gathering evidence from scattered spreadsheets.

More act capabilities (2)

Reports With Retained Evidence

When your notified body asks for post-market surveillance evidence, you generate a provisional PDF from your custom report templates — backed by a hash-chained, integrity-verifiable audit log. No scramble to compile one. Review its coverage and evidence limits before using it in a submission or audit.

Your Data, Your Workflows

Full REST API to feed surveillance data into your existing QMS, build custom dashboards, or trigger workflows in tools your team already uses. No vendor lock-in.

AI-Powered Analysis

Narrative Analysis for Human Review

Dense FDA narratives distilled into actionable summaries. Device information, failure modes, severity and patient outcomes are extracted for your team to review.

FAQ

Questions Before You Start

What exactly does DeviceWatch replace in our workflow?

DeviceWatch collects available FDA records on a schedule, queues narrative analysis and gives your team a review queue and report tools. Analysis coverage shows the records still waiting for processing. Your team checks the findings, records decisions and validates reports for their intended use.

How does the AI analysis work, and can we trust it?

Claude by Anthropic extracts failure modes, severity and other findings from clinical narratives. Each analysis enters a human review queue. Reports can include unreviewed or rejected analysis, so they remain provisional and state their coverage, review status and evidence limitations. Your qualified reviewers own the decisions.

Is this compliant with 21 CFR Part 11?

DeviceWatch provides role-based access, session timeouts, electronic signatures and a verifiable audit chain. Review decisions record identity and time. Report release commits the retained PDF, evidence and audit together; retained downloads are also audited. Part 11 compliance ultimately rests on your validated procedures and intended use.

Why would I track competitor devices?

Because regulators compare your safety profile to the market. When your notified body asks "how does your adverse event rate compare to similar devices?", you'll have the data ready. Spot industry-wide failure patterns early, benchmark your device's performance, and know what questions are coming before the audit.

How much time will this actually save our team?

Time savings depend on the records you monitor and the review your team requires. DeviceWatch handles scheduled collection, analysis and report formatting. Coverage and review counts show the work still outstanding; your team validates the findings and decides how to use them.

We already have a QMS. How does this fit?

DeviceWatch doesn't replace your QMS. It feeds it better data, faster. Your QMS manages the full quality lifecycle (CAPAs, NCRs, design controls). DeviceWatch is laser-focused on post-market surveillance: automated FDA adverse-event monitoring, AI-powered analysis, signal detection, and regulatory report generation. The API lets you pipe findings directly into your existing quality workflows.

What data sources does DeviceWatch monitor?

DeviceWatch ingests FDA MAUDE adverse-event records from openFDA and FDA bulk files, plus FDA recalls and 510(k) clearances through openFDA. Scheduled jobs match available records to your monitored products. Updates are periodic, not immediate. Additional international sources remain on the roadmap. The inputs are public FDA records; narrative content still requires appropriate handling.

What about FDA's new AEMS system? Is MAUDE being replaced?

Not yet. The FDA launched AEMS in March 2026 and it replaced FAERS on the drug side. Devices are named in scope, but no device data has migrated and there is no device API. MAUDE remains the source of record, and DeviceWatch reads it through the openFDA device/event API. We watch the FDA's data channels for the device cutover and will handle it server-side when it lands. You change nothing.

Can I try it before committing?

Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. Add your product codes, and the most recent records for each are collected and queued for analysis (initial ingestion is capped per organization each hour, with analysis coverage shown in the app). Generate a sample report once analyses are in. If it doesn't save your team time, you've lost nothing.
