- f: Space-delimited filters in `field:"value"` format (e.g. `device.deviceClass:"2" decision.decisionCode:"SESE"`)
- p: Page number (default: 1)
- s: Sort field (default: _relevance). Options:
- _relevance: relevance score (sortDir ignored)
- device.device_class: device risk classification
- device.date_received: date FDA received the submission
- decision.decision_date: date of FDA decision
- sortDir: Sort direction, asc or desc (default: desc). Ignored when s is _relevance.
**Returns:** Device 510(k) clearances with kNumber, title, summaryText, device info (name, class, productCode,
clearanceType, regulationNumber), decision info (code, description, date, committee), applicant details, and tags.
**Note:** This tool returns structured clearance metadata only. For the actual narrative content of 510(k) summary
documents (test results, substantial equivalence reasoning, indications for use, performance data), use
`search_510k_summaries` instead.
