The problem

You know the databases. They just don’t work together.

The records you need are spread across eight databases that don’t share data. Pulling everything for one device can take half a day.

Eight databases. Eight tabs.

510(k), MAUDE, recalls, classification, GUDID — each one is a separate website. Complizen searches all of them in one go.

PDFs aren't searchable.

So much of the FDA record lives inside PDFs you can't search. You find an entry, open the file, and read the whole thing just to see if it's relevant. Complizen reads them for you.

Half a day, still not sure.

You search, export, read PDFs, and still wonder if you missed one. Complizen returns every match, ranked, with no duplicates.

FAQ

Quick answers

Isn't this just FDA.gov?

Same public data, a better way in. FDA.gov makes you bring the product code and search one database at a time. Complizen takes a plain-English description, searches all of them at once, and ranks what's relevant to your device — every result cited.

Do I need a product code or K-number?

No. Describe the device in plain English and Complizen maps the product code, classification, and CFR section for you — then searches on them.

Which databases does it cover?

510(k), MAUDE, recalls, classification, FDA guidance, GUDID/UDI, and TPLC — plus consensus standards — searched together in a single pass.

How do I know it didn't miss anything?

Complizen searches each database in full and returns every match — ranked and deduplicated, not a sampled top-10. And every result links to its FDA page, so you can check the source yourself.

Is my data secure?

SOC 2 aligned, encrypted in transit and at rest, and your device data never trains a model.
