Here's what's happening right now: As of March 29, 2026, there are 26,202 new regulatory signals in the market. This includes 26,000 new FDA Adverse Event Reports (MAUDE/MDRs) and 202 new Health Canada mdl entries. These numbers represent the raw volume of post-market activity you need to contextualize for risk assessment and compliance reporting.

For a VP Quality/Regulatory, this data isn't just noise—it's critical for quantifying risk exposure and informing your board. The surge in adverse events signals potential systemic issues that could impact your product portfolio or competitive landscape. In management review, you must translate these signals into trends, such as whether specific device categories are driving the increase, to align with QMSR and 21 CFR 820 requirements for proactive quality oversight.

We analyzed this across 548,000+ regulatory records and found that aggregating signals into product-specific risk scores can streamline reporting and highlight areas needing immediate attention. This approach moves beyond spreadsheets to provide the concise metrics your stakeholders demand.
