FDA Case Scenarios – Best Practices for Managing Inspection Situations

Description

Overview

Why is FDA at my facility, and what do I do during an inspection?

Preparing for successful inspections is not a one-time event. Being inspection ready means that pharmaceutical leaders are committed to managing compliance as part of their company culture. Industry experts say successfully managing compliance is something that is done every day and not something done to prepare for an inspection by Food and Drug Administration regulators.

Companies can prepare and train their staffs effectively for prior inspection management, but once the audit begins, certain difficult situations, requests or issues may arise that may prove hard to manage properly. In this webinar, you will hear about real life examples of inspection issues on different topics such as Opening Day, Documentation, Tours, SME situations, Safety and Inspection team situations. We will examine what went right and how the situation may have been handled differently.

Why Should You Attend:

Every year or so, companies are visited by the FDA and other regulators to determine if they are properly complying with regulations. Once the inspectors arrive, there may be times that situations arise that are difficult to respond to. In this webinar, we will analyze how certain situations were handled and how they could have been handled differently, or what was positive about how they were handled.

This presentation will provide great opportunities to become familiar with the FDA inspection policy and industry’s best GMP practices including the lessons learned from the most common deficiencies observed during the FDA inspections of firms (devices and pharmaceuticals) for the past eight years.
