NMPA · Device registrations · UDI
China's medical device registry, finally readable.
The NMPA database is public — but Chinese-only, web-only, and built for humans with patience. RegistryCN turns it into a structured English API your team (and your AI agents) can query in seconds.

Every RA team working on China hits the same wall.
The official registration database and the CMDE review portal are Chinese-language only. Checking a single certificate means screenshots, translation tools, and guesswork.
Major regulatory intelligence platforms cover FDA, TGA, Health Canada and EUDAMED — none offers a queryable NMPA device dataset. The gap is the world's second-largest device market.
Certificates expire, get amended, get cancelled. Without monitoring, you find out when a distributor — or a competitor — tells you. Changes should find you first.
Three endpoints. English fields. Built for agents.
GET /v1/registrations
Search & retrieve
Look up by certificate number, company, or product. Domestic and imported devices, Class I–III, returned as clean English JSON.
GET /v1/verify
Verify a certificate
Is this registration real, valid, and held by who they claim? One call answers the question distributors and buyers ask every day.
POST /v1/watch
Monitor changes
Watch a company or product line. Get a webhook when registrations are approved, amended, renewed or cancelled.
Also ships as an MCP server — plug NMPA lookups directly into Claude, ChatGPT or your in-house agents.

Questions you're probably asking
Where does the data come from?
Public records published by China's National Medical Products Administration: the device registration database and the UDI database, which the NMPA explicitly makes open for public access and sharing. We structure it, translate field labels, and keep it current.
Are product and company names machine-translated?
Original Chinese is always returned alongside English. Company names use registered English names where they exist; otherwise translations are flagged as such, so nothing silently pretends to be official.
How fresh is the data?
Registration records are refreshed daily; UDI records follow the NMPA's published batch updates. Every response carries a last_synced timestamp.
What will it cost?
Free during beta. After that, plans from roughly $49/month for individual RA use, with usage-based pricing for platforms and consultancies. Early-access users keep a discount.
