Classification view of a device type: the GMDN hierarchy it sits in, the FDA product codes it maps to with how many devices carry each, and — the part not published anywhere — how the SAME device type is actually risk-classed market by market, with the sample size behind each. Risk class is not portable: a device type can be modal High in Canada and modal Medium in the EU and Singapore, which changes submission route, evidence burden and timeline. Observed practice, not a regulatory determination. Takes a plain device name ("bone screw", "hip implant"), a GMDN code, or an FDA product code. A name is resolved by how many real devices carry each GMDN term rather than by string matching, and `resolution` reports which term was chosen, how many others matched and what they were — call again with `gmdn_code` to classify one of those instead.

By k_number: what that device cited, AND which later devices cited IT as a predicate — the reverse direction shows whose clearances rest on your device and how contested a space is. By product_code: the predicates that code leans on most, ranked by how often they are cited, plus recent clearances. Use when choosing a predicate, assessing substantial equivalence, or mapping who is clearing devices in a classification.

Excludes the same manufacturer, so what comes back is the competitive set. Each result carries a match band. Use for competitive landscape, classification precedent in other markets, and finding how the same device type is described elsewhere. Get a registration_id from get_registrations.

What Meridian Trace actually holds: every source registry, the market it covers, how many registrations are on file from it, and when it was last crawled. Call this to verify coverage and freshness for yourself before relying on other tools, or to answer "do you cover market X, and how current is it?". No arguments.

In Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand the registry names this local party rather than the OEM, so this is the only way to see who controls market access for a product, who a competitor is partnered with, and whether a manufacturer uses one partner or many.

Returns per-market registration and active-registration counts and the source registries, plus the markets absent from their footprint — which is the gap a market-access team is usually looking for ("registered in Indonesia and Thailand, missing in the Philippines"). Prefer this over get_registrations when the question is about market presence rather than individual products. A `marketAccess` block may also appear. It is NOT a registration and is excluded from marketCount and every count in this response: it reports market access held on another basis — currently PMDA foreign manufacturer accreditation, which licenses a manufacturing SITE to make devices for Japan, precedes product approval and outlives individual products. When it is present alongside Japan in `absent`, both are true and the distinction matters: the company can supply the market but has no Japanese product approval visible to us. Do not describe that as being registered in Japan, and do not add it to a market count.

Ordered by when we first saw the record, so it surfaces market entries as they appear rather than by approval date. US PMA supplements are excluded: they are labeling and site changes against an existing approval, not new registrations. Filtering by market is much faster — unfiltered across all markets can take up to 15 seconds, a market or two returns in about a second.

Everything get_registrations returns for that row, plus the registry's own market-specific fields under `registryFields` — Korea's renewal window, Australia's intended purpose, Saudi's authorisation pathway, the EUDAMED device attributes (implantable, sterile, reusable, measuring, latex, tissue origin, legislation), and the manufacturer address — none of which fit a list row. `sourceUrl` links the authority's own record so you can check us. Reading one device exhaustively costs the same as seeing it in a list, and re-reading it is free.

Each row… Every individual registration held by a manufacturer — product name, registration number, status, dates, risk class and source registry — filterable by market and status. Each row also carries an `enrichment` block Meridian derived: device class as a RANK on that market's own scale ("3 of 4") rather than a label that means different things in different markets, the resolved device type, the clinical area with the number of signals that agreed on it, the FDA product code, country of origin, brand and intended use. Each row carries a `provenance` block naming any field Meridian derived (inferred, classified, translated) with a confidence band where one applies; every field NOT listed there is the registry's own value, unmodified. Use that to lean on verbatim fields and hedge on derived ones. Use get_market_coverage instead when the question is which markets a company is in.

Built from each registry's own approval date, so it reaches back as far as the registry publishes (56 years for the US). Every market carries a historyQuality flag: complete_archive and retains_lapsed series are safe to trend, current_state_only markets publish only today's position and undercount anything since withdrawn. Use for entry velocity, launch cadence, and comparing two competitors' expansion over time.
