Description
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the purpose of Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) is to “collect and analyze information to identify actual and potential product and quality problems, and take appropriate and effective corrective or preventive action.” As per a report by the FDA Group, procedures for CAPA remained the most-often cited compliance issue for medical device companies in 2017 as well. The lack of or inadequate procedures established for CAPA was cited 400 times in Inspectional Observations issued to the medical device industry in FY2017.
In order to solve this growing problem, organizations must know how to conduct an effective investigation, identify root causes, and implement workable corrective action in a timely manner. An effective CAPA process requires training internal investigators, who can also coach others in the organization, to employ critical thinking. The process must provide a common model and language within the organization, which allows investigators to master the process quickly and easily.
