## How to read it

- Specialty as assigned in the FDA’s device list. Cumulative counts, 1995–2025.
- Authorised covers every route on the FDA’s list, mostly 510(k) clearance; the AI Index’s chart title says ‘approved’.
- The data file spells clinical toxicology ‘Toxcicology’; corrected here, with British spelling for specialty names.
