The New FDA-Product Approval, Inspection, and Enforcement
Overview:
The US Food and Drug Administration has recently released information about its new strategies as a result of the new administration.
The new commissioner recently announced a new policy for Warning Letters and FDA-483 responses, putting manufacturers under very tight response timelines. The CDRH director recently retired under a cloud of complaints from center scientists about device approvals being too friendly to manufacturers. More inspectors are taking to the field to attack the backlog of inspections, and FDA is once again pushing third party inspections as another strategy to reduce backlog.
