Automated Nuvolo Device Recall Alerts
Every morning, WebRun checks the FDA's public device recall database for new notices, matches each recalled model and serial number against your Nuvolo asset registry, and posts your biomedical engineering team a Microsoft Teams alert listing every affected asset and its location.
How do I quickly find which of my medical devices are affected by a new FDA recall?
WebRun checks the FDA's public device recall database every morning for new notices, then matches each recalled manufacturer, model, and serial number against your Nuvolo asset registry. It posts your biomedical engineering team a Microsoft Teams alert listing every affected asset with its location, so recalled equipment is found in hours, not weeks.
- Affected assets are identified within hours of a recall notice instead of during the next audit
- Every match includes the exact location so equipment can be found fast
- Risk level is flagged so the highest-risk assets get checked first
Built for hospital biomedical engineering teams · clinical engineering departments · HTM directors · patient safety officers

Questions, answered
Does it need a login for the FDA recall database?
No. It checks the FDA's public device recall database, which needs no account or login. Only Nuvolo requires you to connect an account.
Does it take recalled devices out of service automatically?
No. It only flags which of your assets match a new recall and where they are. Taking a device out of service, quarantining it, or contacting the manufacturer stays a decision for your team.
What if a recall doesn't list serial numbers?
It still matches on manufacturer and model number and surfaces every asset that could be affected, flagging that a serial-level check is needed before your team confirms which units to act on.
