Medical Design Instruments Gets 483 on Supplier Controls

Medical Design Instruments has received an FDA Form 483 for poor supplier controls.

Meanwhile, the device history record for the Spinouspreader did not include the complete primary identification labeling and packaging, the April 25 form says. It was recently released by the FDA.

Medical Design Instruments did not respond to a request for comment by press time.
