Recommendation: Sarasota and Collier counties in Florida represent the highest-value targets, high THA volume, high senior population concentration, and established surgeon relationships. Palm Beach offers the largest absolute volume but higher MA penetration may complicate commercial strategy. Avoid Miami-Dade and Broward initially due to extreme MA penetration (68-79%) and elevated readmission rates.

What you can ask

Questions that used to take weeks, answered in seconds

Each question runs against real data. Follow-ups build on previous results , Medistill remembers context across the entire conversation.

510(k) clearance pipeline, cardiovascular

1

Show me every FDA 510(k) clearance for cardiovascular devices in the last 3 years. Which companies got the most clearances? What’s the trend, is the market accelerating or cooling?

Queries the complete 510(k) database to surface clearance velocity and competitive dynamics, the intelligence that takes regulatory teams weeks to compile manually.

2

For the top 5 companies by clearances, cross-reference with device enforcement recalls. Which companies have the highest clearance-to-recall ratio, clearing lots of devices but also getting lots recalled?

Connects clearance data to recall data, reveals which competitors have quality problems that create market opportunity.

3

Were any of the recalled devices expedited review? Is fast-tracking correlated with higher recall rates?

Tests the hypothesis that expedited pathways produce more recalls, critical intelligence for regulatory strategy.

Hospital targeting, joint replacement

1

We’re launching a new orthopedic implant. Identify the 50 hospitals with the highest volume of joint replacement procedures by Medicare billing. Show their city, state, total procedures, and quality scores.

Combines Medicare utilization data with hospital quality scores to identify high-volume, high-quality targets, the hospital list your commercial team needs.

2

For the top 20 hospitals, who are the orthopedic surgeons performing the most joint replacements? Show each surgeon’s volume, quality score, and whether they receive payments from our competitors.

Maps individual surgeon relationships with competitors, identifies who’s locked up and who’s available.

3

For surgeons receiving zero industry payments, these are our greenfield targets. Pull their contact info and practice details.

Greenfield surgeons with high volume and no competitor relationships are the highest-ROI targets for your sales team.

Without Medistill

Request hospital procedure data from CMS, separately download industry payments, manually match surgeons to hospitals and competitor relationships. Months of commercial ops work.

Competitor recall intelligence

1

Our competitor just had a Class I recall on their spinal device. Pull the full recall details, reason, distribution, classification. Then show every hospital that was likely using that device based on high spinal surgery volume.

Turns a competitor’s quality failure into a targeting opportunity, maps affected hospitals in real time.

2

For those hospitals, who are the top spine surgeons? They’ll need an alternative device, show their procedure volumes and current industry payment relationships.

Identifies surgeons who are actively looking for alternatives due to the recall, time-sensitive competitive intelligence.

Without Medistill

Monitor FDA recall database manually, separately research hospital procedure volumes, manually identify affected surgeons. By the time you’ve done the research, competitors have already moved.

510(k) pipeline, ophthalmic

1

Track the 510(k) clearance pipeline for ophthalmic devices. How many clearances per year over the last 5 years? Which advisory committees are busiest? Is this space growing?

Tracks regulatory pipeline velocity by specialty, shows whether a market segment is accelerating or maturing.

2

Which companies dominate ophthalmic device clearances? Show market share by applicant.

Maps competitive concentration, identifies whether the market is consolidated or fragmented.

Without Medistill

Download FDA 510(k) database, filter by product codes, manually build year-over-year trend analysis. Days of regulatory affairs work.

Clearance time benchmarking

1

Our regulatory team needs to benchmark our 510(k) clearance times. What’s the average time from submission to decision for orthopedic devices? How does it compare to cardiovascular or ophthalmic?

Benchmarks your regulatory performance against industry averages by specialty, the data your team needs for board presentations.

2

Are third-party-reviewed 510(k)s cleared faster than FDA-reviewed ones? Show the comparison by device category.

Quantifies the third-party review pathway advantage, informs whether to pursue 3P review for upcoming submissions.

Without Medistill

Download full 510(k) database, calculate decision dates minus receipt dates, segment by product code, build statistical comparison. Multi-day analysis.
