11:30 AM ET: Knock Knock - The FDA Inspection

What do you do when a regulatory agency knocks on the door? Turn off the lights? Panic? If you’re prepared, it should be an exercise to ensure that your predesigned systems are working correctly. This presentation will cover FDA Inspections; how to prepare for them and what to do, and expect after the inevitable, ‘Knock, Knock’.

The speaker will discuss how studies with investigational devices differ from those with drugs and biologics. These differences can create issues, especially for companies that may have dealt only with pharmaceuticals in the past. There are some similarities between devices and drugs and biologics. Device differences include the nature of firms and studies, statutory distinctions, and regulatory distinctions.
