Product methodology
Surgical Mesh, Implant, and Device Failure Surveillance
Source contract, normalization path, entity-graph join, refresh posture, and publication limits for this Branmoor product.
Status
In service. This product has a functional preview or paid engagement surface in the current site. The full licensed product may still include private exports, alerts, APIs, or buyer-specific diligence that are not exposed publicly.
Distribution Scope
Nationwide; TN provider/device slice; Nashville facility/vendor exposure
Product Question
Tracks device failures, recalls, revisions, and litigation signals.
Primary Sources
- FDA MAUDE — Device adverse event reports
- FDA recall and 510(k) databases — Recall trajectory and predicate device history
- PACER class-action filings — Litigation signal indexed by device and manufacturer
- CMS Medicare claims (revision rates) — Surgeon and facility revision-rate signal
- Hospital and GPO purchasing data (where derivable) — Device adoption and volume by health system
Entity-Graph Join
device IDs, manufacturer `irs_ein`, hospital `ccn`, procedure codes, docket IDs.
Publication Rule
Branmoor does not treat raw public records as the product. A surface is publishable only when the source record is dated, normalized, source-linked, and joined to the relevant Branmoor entity identifiers with enough confidence to state the limits of the result.
Current Methodology Note
The preview register surfaces every device recall in the openFDA Enforcement Reports dataset with Class I/II/III severity, lifecycle status, 510(k)/PMA cross-reference, and operational response framing. The licensed Forensic adds MAUDE adverse-event signal-detection, surgeon-level revision-rate analysis, and PACER class-action cross-reference for plaintiff-firm targeting.
Limits
Coverage follows the underlying source. Missing state portals, gated APIs, PDF-only filings, suppressed fields, lagged agency refreshes, and entity-name ambiguity can all limit product completeness. Pending products are not marketed as live until those limits are documented on the product surface.
