February 28th, 2013 // 5:15 pm @ jmpickett
This new webinar, set for November 12, 2013, at 2 PM EST, will detail some of the most recent and most serious FDA 483s. It will discuss the changing audit focus of the agency and how it affects how you do business.
It will evaluate the chief areas of cGMP compliance audits, which are based upon recent top 483 findings to see actual and anticipated changes in emphasis, and how to better prepare with a company’s internal audit program.
This 90-minute Webinar will give you invaluable assistance in evaluating their existing compliance and internal audit emphasis in light of the changed FDA focus based on recent 483 analysis, and their audit “paradigm”. Such analysis allows a company to evaluate/ perform a gap analysis, and then put in place the necessary fixes to ensure continuing compliance.

Topic Background:
There has been a major shift in the emphasis of U.S. FDA CGMP compliance audits, and the resulting FDA Form 483 Observations. This change in focus has a major impact on individual compliance objectives, efforts and measurements of success. The Agency has come under increasing negative publicity due to major publicized product failures / recalls, leading to public concern over insufficient oversight of new product introductions (and grandfathered product) by means of the 510(k) system. This affects the Agency’s approach to audits and their expectations for companies.
