About MedDeviceRanked
MedDeviceRanked makes FDA medical device safety data accessible to patients. We rank devices by adverse event rates so you can make informed decisions before procedures.
Our Mission
The FDA collects millions of adverse event reports for medical devices, but the raw data is nearly impossible for patients to navigate. We aggregate, score, and rank this data so you can see how your device compares to alternatives — before surgery, not after.
We believe patients have a right to understand the safety history of devices that go into their bodies.
Our Data
All data comes from the FDA's MAUDE (Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience) database, the FDA recall database, and FDA 510(k) clearance records. These are public datasets maintained by the U.S. government.
Important: adverse event reports do not prove a device is dangerous. They indicate reported incidents that warrant investigation. Always consult your healthcare provider.
