Running the solution

  1. Open the RPA Tray Assistant and run the FDA 506J Compliance Tracking solution.
  2. The RPA bot navigates to the Medical Device Shortages List published by the U.S. FDA and extracts the latest device shortage information.
  3. The extracted data is updated in the custom business class SCMFDADeviceList within the application.
  4. The data mapping is performed based on the Product Code available both on the FDA website and in the application.
  5. Based on the retrieved data, these fields are populated in the application:
    • SCMAdditionalInformation
    • SCMAvailabilityAndEstimatedShortageDuration
    • SCMReasonForInterruption
    • SCMCategory
    • SCMDate

If a Product Code exists in the application but is no longer listed on the FDA website, the RPA execution automatically clears these fields in the application to reflect the updated status.
