Course "How FDA Trains Its Investigators and Inspectors to Review Sub-Systems for State of Compliance: What You Need to Do to Prepare for a Successful Inspection" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.

Description:

Senior management takes responsibility for Quality and GXP compliance. It is not something delegated to the Quality unit or to the Regulatory Affairs group. Developing and implementing an effective Inspection readiness plan will help ensure better results, as well as a less stressful inspection. Planning strategically ahead will reduce document turn-around time, improve presentation skills from SMEs, and increase inspector confidence in the Quality System. Successfully completing an FDA inspection is critical to cGMP operations and commercial success. Implementing and maintaining robust quality systems is one element to accomplishing this goal. However, it is not the only element. Inspection preparation and management is another, equally important element to ensure a successful outcome. In fact, proper Inspection Management techniques can help mitigate the risk of receiving an observation for compliance gaps. Quality and GXP compliance are an opportunity, not an obligation, and are owned by everyone in the organization. For those interacting with FDA regarding submissions, as an example, every interaction with the FDA is a crucial moment for your development program, and meetings represent a culmination of compiled and scheduled work. Strategies, timelines, costs and complexity are all organized through this interaction - the stakes are high, and the outcomes are extremely important. It all comes down to strategic communication. Every facet of FDA meetings - from the information your company is providing, to scientific research and the tone and articulation of that information - must be conducted flawlessly. For example, for many medical device companies, a meeting with a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Committee is a high-profile, high-stress event. A successful meeting can assure regulators, patients and investors that a product is safe and effective, while an unsuccessful meeting can torpedo a product's chances of a timely approval.
