Medical device regulatory, quality, clinical, and market-access teams face a persistent operational headache: regulatory intelligence is scattered across dozens of disconnected national databases, paid subscription portals, language barriers, and static PDF guidance documents. When evaluating a new market, identifying predicate devices, or preparing quality system audits, professionals often waste days manually toggling between regulator websites.

Pure Global AI addresses this bottleneck by providing a free, open data layer that brings together 37 national medical-device registries, FDA datasets, clinical trials across 40 countries, regulations, timelines, government fees, and evidence-first AI workpapers in one web platform. It is built by Pure Global to support early regulatory research, market comparison, submission preparation, and lifecycle evidence review.

However, using a third-party regulatory intelligence aggregator requires clear protocols. Pure Global AI is a discovery and triage layer—it does not replace official national registries, licensed standards organizations, or certified regulatory counsel.

This practical guide breaks down what the free platform offers, provides a task-to-tool decision table, details a five-stage market-access and evidence-review workflow, demonstrates primary-source verification against official FDA datasets, and outlines the boundaries between free AI workpapers, controlled QMS records, and paid consulting services.


What is Pure Global AI and What Does the Free Platform Include?

Pure Global AI is an open suite of medical-device regulatory tools hosted at pureglobal.ai/resources. Its current catalog spans four functional groups:

  1. Data & Research Databases: Searchable interfaces mirroring official device registration listings, product codes, premarket notifications, adverse events, clinical trial registries, and national regulations.

  2. Planning & Comparison Tools: Country-by-country matrices covering official government fees, registration lead times, and local representation rules across ~30 major MedTech markets.

  3. AI Research Utilities: A 37-country device classifier, a multi-country similar-product finder, and an FDA predicate and pathway agent that search retrieved registration or FDA records.

  4. Evidence-First Workpapers: Structured reviews for risk-management files, FDA eSTAR readiness, CAPA investigations, complaint reportability and FSCA, FDA QMSR implementation, labels and IFUs, and PMS/PMCF/clinical evidence.

Coverage Scope and Headline Registries

According to Pure Global's published data methodology, the platform indexes over 1.9 million device registration records globally. However, record counts vary significantly by country depending on whether national databases report individual device models, master family approvals, or establishment listings:

Country / RegionPrimary Regulator / SourceReported Record VolumePrimary Data Fields Mirrored
ThailandThai FDA4,400,000+Device registrations, import licenses
European UnionEUDAMED / National Registries563,000+Public UDI/device listings, CE certificates
South KoreaMFDS (Ministry of Food & Drug Safety)314,000+Item approvals, classification codes
United KingdomMHRA Public Register150,962+Registered devices, GMDN/EMDN terms
ChinaNMPA (National Medical Products Admin)149,000+Domestic & imported device registrations
United StatesU.S. FDA Datasets120,000+510(k), PMA, De Novo, GUDID/UDI, Establishments
BrazilANVISA109,598+Device registrations (registros & notificações)
JapanPMDA / MHLW88,000+Approved medical devices & IVDs

Note: Raw record counts reflect national database structures and cannot be used directly as a market-size proxy. For example, Thailand's high record count stems from granular line-item import filings, whereas U.S. FDA 510(k) clearances summarize broader device families.

A Five-Stage Market-Access and Evidence-Review Workflow

When expanding a medical device or IVD into new international territories, regulatory teams can combine Pure Global AI's modules into a five-stage workflow. The first three stages search public evidence; the last two organize company evidence for qualified review.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STEP 1: CLASSIFICATION & PATHWAY SCOPING                                          |
| Enter intended use & tech specs into Pure Global AI Device Classifier & FDA       |
| Product Code tool to identify risk class (Class I/IIa/IIb/III or Class 1/2/3).   |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                                      |
                                      v
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STEP 2: PREDICATE & CLINICAL BENCHMARKING                                         |
| Query Pure Global AI FDA 510(k), PMA & Clinical Trial tools for reference         |
| cleared devices, primary endpoints, trial sizes, and adverse event profiles.      |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                                      |
                                      v
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STEP 3: REGISTRATION TIMELINE & GOVERNMENT FEE BUDGETING                          |
| Extract indicative lead times and official fees across target markets (US, EU,   |
| Japan, Brazil, China) to build executive commercialization roadmaps.             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                                      |
                                      v
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STEP 4: QUALITY SYSTEM & TECHNICAL FILE GAP AUDITING                              |
| Complete interactive GSPR Annex I, ISO 13485, and MDSAP checklists to track       |
| mandatory test evidence, risk management files, and QMS SOP preparedness.         |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                                      |
                                      v
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| STEP 5: EVIDENCE-FIRST WORKPAPER REVIEW                                           |
| Paste an authorized, de-identified evidence index into the task-specific agent;   |
| resolve gaps inside controlled QMS and submission records after qualified review. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Step 1: Rapid Device Classification & Target Pathway Discovery

Before committing resources to target markets, determine how regulators in the U.S., EU, China, Japan, and Brazil classify your device:

  1. Navigate to the Pure Global AI Device Classifiers.

  2. Input your device's intended purpose, patient contact level, technology type, and operational mechanism.

  3. Review the predicted classification across 37 jurisdictions (e.g., U.S. Class II 510(k) vs EU MDR Class IIa vs China NMPA Class II).

  4. Cross-reference U.S. product codes using the FDA Product Code Lookup to identify the 3-letter product code, regulation number, and medical specialty panel.

Step 2: Predicate Identification & Risk-Profile Scoping

For 510(k) submissions, identifying an appropriate predicate device is essential:

  1. Search the Pure Global AI FDA 510(k) Database by product code, applicant name, or clearance date, or use the FDA Predicate & Pathway Agent for a cross-dataset first pass.

  2. Examine cleared 510(k) decision summaries to inspect statement of intended use, technological characteristics, and bench performance testing.

  3. Check safety histories using the FDA MAUDE Search and FDA Recalls Search for competitor devices to identify questions that require deeper review. Report counts are not incidence rates and do not prove device-event causality.

  4. For clinical strategy, query the Pure Global AI Clinical Trials Database to evaluate study sample sizes, control groups, and primary endpoints used in similar device trials.

Step 3: Registration Timelines, Government Fees & Country Comparison

Market selection requires balancing regulatory complexity against time-to-market and financial cost:

  1. Consult the registration timeline comparison and government fee schedules for indicative benchmarks across major markets.

  2. Separate official government submission fees from third-party costs (such as testing laboratories, authorized representative retainers, notified body audits, and translation fees).

  3. Identify structural prerequisites, such as requiring U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance or an EU CE mark prior to abridged registration in secondary markets (e.g., Singapore HSA, Israel MOH, or Mexico COFEPRIS).

Step 4: Quality System & Technical Documentation Gap Audits

Once target jurisdictions are selected, assemble compliant technical documentation and verify QMS readiness:

  1. EU Market Entry: Use the EU MDR GSPR Checklist to evaluate compliance against General Safety and Performance Requirements (Annex I). Map clinical evaluation reports (CER), software lifecycle files (IEC 62304), and usability studies (IEC 62366) to specific checklist items.

  2. Quality Management Systems: Run the ISO 13485 Audit Checklist to review document control, risk management interfaces, management review, and supplier evaluation evidence.

  3. Multi-Country Quality Audits: Use the MDSAP Audit Checklist to inspect country-specific quality management requirements across the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Japan, and Australia.

Step 5: Route the Evidence Pack to One Task-Specific Workpaper

Select the workpaper by the controlled output under review, not by sending the same product summary to every agent. A submission team might move from the FDA pathway agent to the eSTAR readiness review; a quality team might move from QMSR readiness into risk or CAPA review; a post-market team may connect complaint/FSCA screening with the PMS/PMCF/CER workpaper. Each generated report should become a review aid attached to an internal task—not an automatically approved quality record.

How to Use the New Evidence-First AI Workpapers

The seven workpapers share a useful design principle: they separate supplied facts and documents from plans, assumptions, and unknowns. They also produce a practical gap report rather than claiming to approve a submission or quality decision. Their inputs and limits differ:

WorkpaperWhat to ProvideUseful OutputHard Boundary
Risk Management File ReviewRisk plan, hazard analysis/FMEA, controls, verification, residual-risk reasoning, complaints, and post-market signalsTraceability and unsupported-assumption reviewDoes not establish ISO 14971 conformity or acceptable risk
FDA eSTAR Readiness ReviewPathway, device and indications, predicate strategy, testing status, and attachment indexReady/partial/missing evidence worklistDoes not replace the current FDA dynamic eSTAR or technical screening
CAPA Investigation BuilderEvent, requirement, containment, investigation evidence, competing causes, actions, owners, and effectiveness criteriaStructured investigation and causal-logic questionsCannot verify evidence, approve root cause, or close CAPA
Complaint, Reportability & FSCA WorkpaperDe-identified event chronology, outcome, identifiers, investigation, distribution, risk, CAPA, and marketsMissing-fact, reporting-path, and field-action questionsCannot make the manufacturer's final reportability decision
FDA QMSR Evidence Gap ReviewQMS scope, transition crosswalk, audits, management review, supplier, risk, complaint/CAPA, and validation recordsImplementation and inspection-readiness gapsDoes not reproduce ISO 13485, certify the QMS, or predict FDA inspection results
Label & IFU ReviewIntended use, users, markets, all visible label/IFU text, symbols, UDI, claims, and revisionsInternal inconsistencies and market-specific questionsText-only review cannot approve artwork, translation, prominence, or durability
PMS, PMCF & Clinical Evidence ReviewPMS plan, complaints, vigilance, literature, PMCF, CER/PSUR, risk changes, and CAPA linksLifecycle evidence gaps and disconnected conclusionsCannot establish clinical safety, performance, equivalence, or conformity

Each page states that Pure Global does not save pasted text or the generated report, but the text is sent to its AI provider for the one-time analysis. Remove patient identifiers, trade secrets, customer-confidential material, and any information your organization is not authorized to transmit. A de-identified evidence index is a sensible first pass; detailed records should be used only under the manufacturer's information-security and QMS controls.


How to Verify Pure Global AI Data Against Official Sources

While Pure Global AI simplifies cross-database queries, regulatory submissions require verifiable primary-source data. Aggregators can experience indexing lag, character encoding shifts, or parsing omissions.

Reproducible Verification Example: FDA Establishment Registrations

To demonstrate primary-source verification, consider verifying U.S. establishment registration listings found via the Pure Global AI FDA Registration & Listing Search.

An analysis of the official openFDA Device Registration & Listing API (snapshot updated March 2026) provides a structural baseline for the official FDA source:

  • Total Active Device Listing Rows: 336,461 listing entries across the entire database.

  • Distinct Active Registered Establishments (status_code = 1): Exactly 27,060 registered medical device facility records.

  • Facility Identifier Alignment: 27,042 distinct Firm Establishment Identifier (FEI) numbers actively maintained in the FDA system.

When inspecting a firm's establishment listing on Pure Global AI, professionals should perform a quick API or manual check against the official FDA record to confirm the legal name, address, listing details, and current registration status before naming the firm as a contract manufacturer or importer in a submission.


Can Free GSPR, ISO 13485, and MDSAP Checklists Support a Real Audit?

Pure Global AI provides free interactive checklists for major regulatory and quality frameworks:

Utility vs. Audit Compliance Boundaries

It is vital to distinguish between a scoping checklist and a certified Quality Management System audit record:

  1. Scoping & Readiness Triage: Pure Global AI checklists are ideal for initial gap identification, team assignment, and preliminary progress tracking. They allow cross-functional teams to quickly visualize which technical standards or test reports are missing.

  2. Standard Copyright Restrictions: Free online checklists summarize standard requirements; they do not reproduce licensed normative text from ISO standards (such as ISO 13485:2016 or ISO 14971:2019) or official Notified Body audit task lists (such as MDSAP AU P0002.010).

  3. Controlled QMS Execution: Formal internal audits and external audit preparation require controlled records, assigned owners, documented evidence, and approvals under the manufacturer's own QMS procedures.

For comprehensive methodologies on executing formal audits and technical documentation, consult our detailed guides:

Stated Platform Limitations & When to Pay for Expert Consulting

Understanding what a platform cannot do is just as important as knowing its features. In its public data methodology, Pure Global explicitly outlines key operational boundaries:

Platform Data Limitations

  • Source-of-Truth Lag: Aggregated registry data is updated periodically. Official national registry updates may take days or weeks to reflect on third-party portals.

  • Field Completeness Variance: Secondary markets often publish limited public fields (e.g., missing device descriptions or redacted manufacturer addresses).

  • Indicative Timelines and Fees: Government fees, exchange rates, and review timelines fluctuate. Published figures represent historical averages or published baseline schedules and should not be treated as fixed quotes.

  • No Legal or Regulatory Certification: Platform outputs are informational search aids and do not constitute formal legal advice or regulatory endorsement.

Free Open Data Layer vs. Paid Consulting Services

Pure Global operates a dual model that separates its free public resources from its commercial consulting arm:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Pure Global AI really free, and what is the catch?

Yes. The database searches, classifier, regulations library, checklists, and evidence workpapers listed in the Pure Global AI resource directory are presented as free resources. Commercial consulting and in-country representation are separate services.

Does Pure Global AI replace official regulator databases like FDA, EUDAMED, or NMPA?

No. Pure Global AI mirrors and indexes data from national health authorities, but it does not replace them. Submission-critical information—such as official clearance letters, active registration status, or legal device labeling—must always be verified directly against official primary sources like openFDA, EUDAMED, or NMPA.

Can I cite Pure Global AI search results directly in a 510(k), CE mark, or STED submission?

No. Regulatory submissions must cite primary official sources, official registration numbers, certified standards, and direct laboratory test reports. Pure Global AI should be used as a discovery and triage tool to identify those primary records, not as the cited primary evidence inside a technical dossier.

Why do record counts in Pure Global AI vary between the homepage, methodology table, and press reports?

Record counts depend on database definitions and refresh schedules. The homepage reports over 1.9 million device registrations, while the methodology page publishes separate country-level coverage figures that are not directly comparable. National registries may count device families, individual models, certificates, listings, or other record types differently. Use the figures to understand documented coverage—not to estimate market size or compare countries without normalizing the underlying record unit.

What is the difference between Pure Global AI's free tools and its paid consulting service?

Pure Global AI's free tools provide self-service search capabilities, data exploration, and compliance checklists. Pure Global's commercial services provide hands-on execution such as dossier support, regulatory strategy, local representative appointments, submission management, and health-authority communication. Scope and pricing depend on the engagement.


Summary and Key Takeaways

Pure Global AI combines two layers that should be governed differently: public-data research across national registries and evidence-first review of text supplied by the user. The first can shorten discovery; the second can expose gaps across risk, submission, quality, labeling, and post-market files. Neither layer replaces official records or accountable approval.

To maximize value while maintaining strict regulatory compliance, teams should adhere to three core principles:

  1. Use the Right Tool for the Evidence: Use databases and research agents to retrieve public records; use one task-specific workpaper to review an authorized evidence pack.

  2. Verify Against Primary Sources: Always cross-check critical clearance numbers, intended use statements, and establishment registration statuses against official government databases like openFDA or EUDAMED before finalizing regulatory filings.

  3. Govern Controlled Records and Sensitive Inputs Separately: Use free checklists and workpapers for gap analysis, but execute formal audits, submissions, and technical-document approvals inside the manufacturer's controlled Quality Management System.

Used this way, the platform can reduce repetitive searching and make evidence gaps visible without confusing an AI-generated workpaper with a regulator decision, certified audit, or approved quality record.
