The outcome of regulatory inspections is critical to an organization’s success. The FDA performs inspections to check that companies are maintaining compliance with applicable regulations and quality standards. Though you do your best to avoid it, receiving a 483 or Warning Letter is inevitable. It’s important to take the observations very seriously because you only have 15 days to submit the subsequent responses.
But ensuring that you are aware and understand what the regulatory agency is expecting in the response can be a challenge. What should you include? What are the risks of not submitting an appropriate response?
This 90-minute course will discuss the importance of developing and submitting a robust, timely response to FDA 483 observations or warning letters; as well as, educate the audience on the essential elements of a thorough response. Additionally, this course will review the proper structure of the response to ensure the regulatory agency’s expectations are met and the submission process.
