# Adverse Event
Use adverse-event commands for FDA safety surveillance across three datasets:
- FAERS reports,
- recall notices,
- device events.
## Search FAERS reports
By drug:
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --drug pembrolizumab --limit 5
```
Serious reports only:
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --drug pembrolizumab --serious --limit 5
```
Reaction-focused filter:
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --drug pembrolizumab --reaction pneumonitis --limit 5
```
## Search recall notices
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --type recall --drug metformin --limit 5
```
Classification filter:
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --type recall --drug metformin --classification "Class I" --limit 5
```
## Search device events (MAUDE)
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --type device --device "insulin pump" --limit 5
```
Manufacturer filter:
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --type device --manufacturer Medtronic --limit 5
```
Product-code filter:
```bash
biomcp search adverse-event --type device --product-code PQP --limit 5
```
`--manufacturer` and `--product-code` are valid only with `--type device`.
## Get a report by ID
```bash
biomcp get adverse-event 10222779
```
Report resolution is source-aware and returns the corresponding markdown format.
## Request report sections
| Section | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `reactions` | Adverse reactions reported |
| `outcomes` | Reaction outcomes (death, hospitalization, etc.) |
| `concomitant` | Concomitant medications |
| `guidance` | Safety guidance and labeling |
| `all` | Include all sections |
```bash
biomcp get adverse-event 10222779 reactions outcomes
biomcp get adverse-event 10222779 all
```
## JSON mode
```bash
biomcp --json get adverse-event 10222779
```
## Practical guidance
- Include drug generic names for better FAERS recall.
- Treat counts as signal, not incidence estimates.
- Validate serious findings through full source documents when needed.
