@sbmthakur Did you find any additional info in this table as compared to FDA data?

[sbmthakur]

There is definitely more information in this table. From my observation, they are retrieving the data from a Google Sheet. I will try to figure out how they curate this data.

The latest device was added to their list was approved on 06/2021 (DEN200069). FDA has approved more devices since then. The key attributes missing in FDA's table are:

• Short description of the device
• Type of FDA approval
• If AI was mentioned in the announcement
• Medical specialty and Secondary medical specialty (either of these matches the Panel field in FDA's list)

I will go through the FDA API to see if we can get the additional information from there.

To conclude, it appears that the data on this website is crowdsourced. Values for certain fields like Medical Speciality are clearly different than what appears in the FDA API. For eg:

• https://api.fda.gov/device/registrationlisting.json?search=k_number:DEN200069
• https://api.fda.gov/device/510k.json?search=k_number:DEN200069
• https://api.fda.gov/device/classification.json?search=openfda.k_number:DEN200069
