Complaint Handling for Medical Device Manufacturers
As an experienced FDA medical device investigator, approximately 90% of all FDA 483 I've issued contained inspectional observations that included firm's inability to establish and implement Complaint Handling procedures in compliance with 21 CFR 820, or failed to follow their own established procedures. Either way can get a firm into sufficient Warning Letter territory.
