Form 483 and Warning Letter Responses View from the Front Lines of the FDA’s New “Get Tough” Enforcement Strategy
Product Details
The recent trend of increasing FDA inspections and warning letters is continuing this year, as the agency has already issued 874 letters in fiscal 2011, compared with 673 last year. From fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2009, the number of warning letters issued per year hovered in the high 400s.
With increased staffing, the agency has doubled the number of establishment inspection reports reviewed, from 215 in 2006 to 416 in 2011.
As heightened inspections — and warnings — become the “new normal,” it’s vital to know what’s triggering citations and what to do if you’re hit with a Form 483.
In fact, the more you know about how to handle 483s, the more power you have to handle things without facing subsequent warning letters, consent decrees … and even recalls.
Now, FDAnews helps you mount a timely, effective response to keep inspection citations from leading to further costly consequences.
