Is your company ready for your next FDA inspection, onsite or virtual?
Last May, Steven Niedelman, Lead Quality Systems and Compliance Consultant to the FDA & Life Sciences practice team at King & Spalding law firm presented a webinar on FDA inspections for Redica Systems (then Govzilla) titled, “Guess Who’s Knocking at Your Door: Assuring Inspection Success!”
We summarized his talk into four blog posts published last fall. Below are summaries of each along with links.
Note: While the webinar and related articles concerned onsite inspections, the information is also valuable when faced with a virtual inspection/remote audit.
