Arca Life Sciences

by Arca

Overview

Arca Life Sciences searches a curated index of public regulatory, clinical, and scientific records and returns results with links to the original source. What you can search: - FDA drug records: labels, Drugs@FDA approvals and review documents, complete response letters, warning letters, Form 483s, inspections, import refusals, Orange Book, Purple Book, NDC, drug shortages, and postmarket requirements - FDA device records: 510(k), PMA, registrations, GUDID, and MAUDE adverse event reports - ClinicalTrials.gov studies - PubMed and Europe PMC literature, ranked with citation counts and open-access status - VAERS, CDC public-health data, EU expert panels, and BfArM/PMDA device vigilance Who it is for: regulatory affairs, quality, pharmacovigilance, clinical, and medical-affairs teams, and anyone researching drugs, devices, or the evidence behind them. Limitations: it only searches public records that Arca mirrors, so it has no access to your own documents, patient data, or non-public FDA correspondence. It is read-only and cannot file reports or submissions. Results are research material, not medical advice.

Tools

fetch_source_record

ChatGPT

Read the full indexed text of one record from the public-source corpus by its recordId (returned by search_medical). Use after search when the excerpt is not enough.

list_datasets

ChatGPT

Describe the corpus this server searches: the source lanes search_medical accepts in sourceTypes, with the underlying mirrored datasets in each.

search_medical

ChatGPT

Hybrid keyword + semantic search over Arca's mirrored public-source corpus: FDA drug labels, Drugs@FDA approvals, complete response letters, warning letters, Orange Book, Purple Book, NDC, drug shortages, device 510(k)/PMA/registrations, MAUDE adverse events, DailyMed, GUDID, postmarket requirements, import refusals, inspections, Form 483s, ClinicalTrials.gov studies, VAERS reports, CDC data, EU expert panel opinions, and BfArM/PMDA device vigilance. Read-only lookup of already-published records: it cannot file, submit, or report anything to FDA, VAERS, MedWatch, or any other agency, so do not call it for requests to file or submit a report. When the question names a record type (warning letters, labels, adverse event reports, trials, recalls), pass the matching sourceTypes rather than searching the whole corpus. Results carry recordId for fetch_source_record and a citable source URL.

search_papers

ChatGPT

Ranked PubMed literature search: Arca's paper index fused with PubMed Best Match, with citation and open-access metadata from OpenAlex. Returns papers with title, authors, journal, year, DOI, PMID, abstract, citation count, and open-access status.
