FDA Inspections - Do's & Don'ts

The purpose of the FDA inspection is a verification activity that should demonstrate to the regulatory agency and provide assurance that your products consistently meet quality expectations and that your company is operating in a consistent and compliant state of control. The key to a successful inspection is being prepared to communicate how your quality systems assure this state of control. 

What does a successful inspection look like? First, zero observations but that depends on your level preparedness and how you handle and manage the inspection. This includes such factors as: timely delivery of documents, good interview skills, your ability to demonstrate controlled systems and self-confidence. Do you have what is needed to have that successful inspection?
