New FDA Strategy for
Enforcement
|
|
The
US Food and Drug Administration
Commissioner, Margaret Hamburg,
has outlined her plan to improve
the effectiveness and timeliness
of the FDA's regulatory and
enforcement system.
"An
effective enforcement strategy
depends on several key
elements. The FDA must be
vigilant, the FDA must be
strategic, the FDA must be
quick, and the FDA must be
visible," Commissioner Hamburg
said in an address before the
Food and Drug Law Institute in
Washington, D.C. "We must get
the word out that the FDA is on
the job."
In her
speech, the Commissioner
outlined the following steps
designed to improve FDA's
enforcement efforts:
- Set post-inspection
deadlines
- Take responsible steps to
speed the warning letter process
- Work more closely with FDA's
regulatory partners
- Prioritize follow-up on
warning letters and other
enforcement actions
- Be prepared to take
immediate action in response to
public health risks
- Develop and implement a
formal warning letter
"close-out" process
By taking
these steps, Commissioner
Hamburg said, the FDA will
ensure that "violative
inspection results are taken
seriously, that warning letters
and enforcement actions occur in
a timely manner and that steps
are taken to protect consumers
in cases where immediate
enforcement action is not
possible."

Making the Transition to
an E-System (Part 2) |
This
is the second part of a 2-part
article
by Janet Gough,
Consultant and Author
Once an
electronic system has gone
through the validation process
and is in production, users can
access it to initiate, review,
and approve documents in accord
with the SOPs against which they
have undergone training. The
validation process will have set
specifications for the system
based on the user requirements,
so the system will be able to
accommodate all the documents
the system has been built to
hold and to identify users by
passwords linked to the user's
names.
The first
step in creating a new document
in a new system is to ascertain
whether the document is actually
needed. A brand new system is
not searchable, so initial
determination for a document
needs to be based on the former
system. If a document is
necessary, reviewers confirm
within the new system, and the
author can begin to prepare a
document. Typically, system
administrators make templates
available to authors so that
they can generate a new
document.
To make
the system fully usable and
searchable for the categories of
documents the system will
ultimately house, legacy
documents must also come into
the system. There are a few
approaches for building the
document repository in an
electronic system.
