The platform
Search all datasets at once and see how many results match. Then open the results that matter, with filters, charts and maps, and a detail panel for every record.
AI Chat answers from Orca1 data and from regulations, guidance and standards from many countries, and shows its steps and its sources, so you can check every answer.

Testimonials
Our client, facing their first FDA on-site inspection for a PMA product, was very inquisitive to understand the process and the expectations. As part of the planning stage, we contacted Orca1 to obtain a comprehensive intelligence profile of the assigned investigator. This insightful information empowered us to address potential concerns and navigate the inspection smoothly, resulting in no 483 observations. With this hurdle cleared we can now focus our attention back on bringing this innovative product to market.
Thanks again Orca1
Thanks for the demo on how to navigate Orca1’s platform. A comparable search in our current Basil system would have taken me hours, in Orca1 it took minutes.
I have been using the Orca1 Digital Intelligence Platform for the past year. This has been a great tool to help me with a variety of quality and regulatory activities.
In one case when it seemed certain that a device was going to require a De Novo, the Orca1 platform allowed me to find a predicate device that had similar indications for use and technology, which saved a considerable amount of time for research and both time and money by supporting a 510(k) submission instead of a De Novo.
The tool for reviewing company compliance history including past inspections, warning letters, recalls and adverse events reports allowed fast and useful information to be accessible in preparation for a Due Diligence audit.
It took us over 2 weeks to collect the information needed for our MDER paper. Orca1 provided this information in minutes. I am so excited to access all the data on your platform!
Orca has been an instrumental tool guiding the regulatory strategy of the company. The platform allowed me to effortlessly identify a predicate device that was ultimately used for our FDA Q-sub. Furthermore, the user interface allows you to conduct broad searches in minutes that used to take hours on the traditional FDA website.

Orca1 is the intelligence platform for life sciences. It brings regulatory, quality, safety, clinical, commercial and supply chain data from the FDA and regulators worldwide into one place, links it by product, company and facility, and adds search, AI, monitoring and a workspace for teams. A professional network with company pages and jobs comes with it.
Mostly from official public sources: the FDA and other US agencies, regulators in Europe, the UK, Canada, Japan, Switzerland and many more countries, the WHO, trial registries and standards bodies. Our data science team cleans, structures and links it, and Orca1 adds its own analytics, such as safety signals. Record pages link to the official source wherever one is available.
Orca1 does not train AI models on your content. Answers are written by the built-in AI, or by your own AI provider under your agreement with it. Your files are read on Orca1's own servers, and only the passages an answer needs go to the AI that writes it. One person's files and answers are never used to answer someone else. The Privacy Policy has the details.
Yes. Each person can connect their own account at a leading AI provider, and their own web search provider. On Enterprise, your organization can add its providers for all its members, and the included AI is pooled across the team.
Yes, on Enterprise. You can require everyone at your domain to sign in with your company's Microsoft or Google accounts. Your organization has seats, roles and team groups, your administrators see an audit trail and manage accounts and usage, and legal holds keep what must be preserved.
On Orca1's own servers in the United States, not on a public cloud. Access follows roles and your organization, and what you save in Workspace is shared only with the people you choose. We answer security questionnaires. Read how we keep your data in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum.
Enterprise is priced for your team and the modules you need, with limits agreed with you. We work with invoices and purchase orders, and onboarding is part of it. Book a call and we will put together an offer.
Yes, with the Orca1 API and MCP, an add-on to Enterprise. Your applications and MCP-compatible AI tools then reach the data your organization can access.
Each person chooses their own language from the menu at the top of this page and in the platform, including right-to-left languages. The data stays as its source published it, and AI Chat answers in the language of your question.
Yes. A free account gets the feed, the network, jobs, Workspace, and searching all datasets at once to see how many results match, plus a number of searches each month to see the data. Pro and Enterprise add more; the plans above show what each includes.
Searching all datasets at once and seeing how many results match is always free. Inside a dataset, each different search counts once a day: new words, filters or picks make a new search, while paging, sorting, opening results and repeating a search the same day do not.
Any time, in Settings under Plan and billing. Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
A 30-minute call with our team: bring a product, a company or a submission, and we will show you what Orca1 finds.
