“What happens if I don’t respond to my FDA-483 within 15 days?”

If you find yourself asking this question, you will need a roadmap. There are steps to take to ensure you don’t miss the deadline, and details that you might need help with. The plan for responding to an FDA form 483 may follow these steps:

  1. Organize your team and establish a timeline to respond
  2. Identify where the issues originate
  3. Issue Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPAs)
  4. Identify your team’s timeline to address the 483’s as quickly as possible
  5. Develop your response letter
  6. Prepare your organization for re-inspection
