How to Withstand an FDA Audit of Your Facility

Each year FDA audits more than 16,000 facilities involved in manufacture, testing or development of food and drug products, and collects more than 25,000 product samples for analysis at its labs. These include not only drugs and biologics but also medical devices, diagnostic kits, dietary supplements, veterinary products, and animal and clinical testing facilities. On an average, the FDA audits result in about 3000 product recalls, 5000 FDA 483s, 500 warning letters, 20,000 products import refusals for non-US manufactured goods, and almost a billion dollars in fines and restitutions. FDA audits are an essential part of assuring compliance with the current regulations. Although most FDA audits are preannounced, FDA does conduct unannounced inspections of facilities that it suspects of noncompliance. The goal of these audits is to assure that products and services available to the American public are of acceptable quality.

FDA audits are very detailed and systemic reviews of a given facility that could span over several days, involve most personnel working at the facility under review, and if evidence of non-compliance is found, could lead to severe restrictions and/or penalties on the responsible parties. More often than not, facilities and personnel are ill-prepared and unaware of the dos and don’ts for an FDA audit and thus get into trouble for easily avoidable errors. Hence, it is very important that at all times FDA-regulated companies be aware of the regulations, logistics, and practical aspects of an FDA audit to be able to successfully withstand the same.
Why should you attend:
​

If your company is marketing a product or service that is regulated by the FDA, you should be prepared for an FDA audit. If you have never been audited by the FDA or if you were last audited 4-6 years ago, if any product or service you offer has been in the news – positive or negative, or if you are getting ready to submit a clinical trial or marketing approval application, chances are you would get audited by the FDA in the near future. Although different facilities are subject to different regulations, FDA auditors follow some general guidelines that are common across all. We will discuss the general rules and specific case studies to highlight the common themes and differences across facilities subject to GCP, GMP or GLP regulations.
