If you received an FDA 483 inspection observation, make sure you watch this training video before sending your response (within 15 days).

What happens if you miss the FDA’s response deadline for an FDA 483 inspection observation?
This is the first step in responding to an FDA 483 inspection observation. You need to identify the response deadline. You have 15 business days, starting from the date you received the FDA Form 483 from the inspector. This does not include weekends or US Federal Holidays. To make sure, you can confirm the date with the inspector by email or during the closing meeting before the inspector leaves. If you miss the deadline, and the inspection outcome is “Official Action Indicated (OAI),” then your company will automatically receive a Warning Letter. You and your company’s top management should take this deadline seriously. Seek immediate regulatory help if you do not have extensive experience writing corrective action plans.
