General Meeting: May 2022 - How to Survive an FDA Inspection

No Image Description
Description
A big challenge with all medical device manufacturers is to be compliant with any regulations applicable with their product. In the case of the United States it will include 21 CFR Part 820 which is a set of regulations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that outlines the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements that manufacturers must follow with regards to their quality system.

As a means of assuring compliance the FDA shall conduct periodic inspections of a medical device manufacturer where if significant issues are identified could result in an FDA Form 483 being issued when an investigator has observed any conditions that in their judgment may be a violation of any 21 CFR Part 820 requirements.

This talk shall go over some preventative actions that a medical device company can take to minimize the possibility of receiving a 483 which in some cases could result in a product seizure.
