Pointers Inspectors look for during FDA inspection - For CAPA (QSIT)

  1. see that corrective action taken to correct existing product nonconformity or quality problems and Prevent recurrence of the problem
  2. The corrective action should Include explanations for how the firm will meet the requirements for all elements of the CAPA subsystem
  3. Gain working knowledge of the firm's CAPA procedure before beginning evaluation of this subsystem
  4. Have management provide definitions
  5. Assure that there is a method for identification and input of quality data into CAPA system, including information regarding product/quality problems that may require corrective and/or preventive action
  6. Assure the firm has procedures that describe/require input of product/quality problems into the CAPA system.
  7. Analyze product/quality problems to identify those that may require corrective action.
  8. Confirm the firm is routinely analyzing data from
    –Acceptance activities relating to component, in-process and finished device testing
    –Information obtained subsequent to distribution: complaints, service activities, returned products
    –Information relating to concessions, quality records, and other sources of quality data
  9. Determine if the firm is identifying product and quality problems that may require a preventive action
  10. Review if preventive actions have been taken regarding unfavorable trends recognized from the analysis of product and quality information.
  11. Determine if the firm is capturing and analyzing data regarding in-conformance product.
  12. Select one or two quality data sources
  13. Review records to confirm data was entered into CAPA system
  14. Determine whether data is Complete ,Accurate ,Entered into CAPA system in timely manner
  15. Determine which statistical and non-statistical techniques are used
  16. Confirm comparison of problems and trends across different data sources to establish a global, and not an isolated view, of a problem.
  17. Confirm that the full extent of a problem is captured before the probability of occurrence, risk analysis and the appropriate corrective or preventive action can be determined
  18. Review procedure for conducting failure investigations
    –Determine if the procedure includes a) Provisions for identifying failure modes b) Determining significance of failure modes c) Rationale for determining if a failure analysis should be conducted as part of the investigation
  19. Discuss with the firm their rationale for determining if CAPA is necessary for an identified trend of product/quality problems.
  20. Select failure investigation records of more than one failure mode and determine if the firm is following their failure investigation procedures.
  21. Confirm that all sampled failure modes have been captured within data summaries
  22. Determine whether the depth of investigation is sufficient to determine the corrective action necessary to correct the problem.
  23. Review incomplete failure investigations for potential unresolved nonconformances and possible distribution of nonconforming product
  24. Review records of nonconforming product where the firm concluded CAPA was not necessary.
  25. Review nonconforming product and quality concessions
  26. Review controls for preventing distribution of nonconforming products.
  27. Review records of the most recent corrective/preventive actions
  28. Determine if corrective/preventive actions for product/quality problems and changes have been documented and implemented
  29. Determine that information regarding quality problems and CAPA has been submitted for management review
  30. Confirm that there is a mechanism to disseminate CAPA information to those directly responsible for assuring product quality and the prevention of quality problems

•Potential Solutions
–Include only high level detail in study protocol
–Maintain detailed computerized process map outside study protocol
SOPs and System Documentation

•Specific to computerized system
–Setup/Installation instructions
–Operating manual
–Validation
–Data collection and handling
–System maintenance
–Security controls
–Change control
–Backup/Restore
–Disaster recovery/contingency planning
–Data collection contingencies
–Training
–Roles and responsibilities

Challenges
–Guidance states “Such SOPs should be maintained either on-site or be remotely accessible through electronic files as part of the specific study records, and the SOPs should be made available for use by personnel and for inspection by FDA.”
Potential Solutions
–Considerations for which SOPs are implemented at the site

Basics of Japanese Medical Device GCP (JGCP)

JPAL Laws, Ordinances and Notifications (relevant to GCP audits & the foreign manufacturer)

The Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (Law No. 145 Established as of August 10, 1960; Law No. 87 Revised as of July 26, 2005)MHLW Ministerial Ordinance No. 36 Clinical Tests for Medical Devices (hereinafter referred to as "Medical Device GCP" or “JGCP”)
YAKUSHOKUKIHATSU No. 0720005 Administration of Good Clinical Practice for Medical Devices
YAKUSHOKUKIHATSU No. 070720 Essential documents for criteria concerning clinical tests for medical devices
YAKUSHOKUHATSU No. 0720004 Criteria for Clinical Trials for Medical Devices
YAKUSHOKUHATSU No. 0331006 Handling of clinical study data based on clinical study that is carried out in a foreign country
MHLW Administrative Correspondence from June 23, 2006 Q&A on the Handling of Tests Records from Clinical Studies on Medical Devices Conducted Overseas

JGCP Basics

A. Ministry Ordinance 36 issued in 2005
B. Based on ICH6 and closely aligned with ISO 14155
C. Parallels the Drug GCP (MHLW Ordinance 28)
D. 6 Chapters, 79 Articles
- Chapter 1. General Provisions
- Chapter 2. Criteria for Preparations for Clinical Trial
- Chapter 3. Criteria for Clinical Trial Management
- Chapter 4. Clinical Trial Criteria
- Chapter 5. Criteria for Reevaluation Documents, Etc.
- Chapter 6. Criteria for Sponsoring Clinical Trial, Etc.
E.Audit requirement discussed mostly in Articles 21, 31 & 42

- JGCP requirements have many similarities to those the US and Europe.
- Largely due to MHLW participation in ICH and the ICH Guideline for GCP (E 6)
- Closely aligned with ISO 14155 Parts 1 & 2
- Basic functions of the Sponsor, Investigators, Informed Consent, Record Retention, and IRB’s are nearly identical to requirements currently in place for the US.

JGCP Audit Requirements

- Per Article 2, Audit is defined as “an investigation conducted by a sponsor or postmarketing sponsor, or one that a sponsor-investigator appoints a designated person to determine whether the clinical trial or postmarketing clinical trial is conducted according to this Ministerial ordinance (No. 36) and the protocol or postmarketing protocol to ensure the reliability of the technical documents collected by the clinical trial or postmarketing clinical trial.”
- When the sponsor-investigator appoints an individual within the same medical institution to conduct the audit, said individual must be a third party who is not involved in the clinical trial.
- The sponsor-investigator may also appoint a third-party organization outside of the medical institution to conduct the audit.
- Article 21, Clause 6:
"Procedures concerning auditing plan and duties" refer to a plan and procedure that the sponsor-investigator prepares to guarantee that the audit is properly conducted.
- This documentation must include:
+ Selection of the auditor (including the qualifications for the auditor)
+ Name of the auditor who will audit the clinical trial
+ Specific methods of auditing
+ Handling of auditing report and audit certificate


Article 31. Audit (by sponsor)
1. The sponsor shall prepare an audit plan as well as the operating procedures for the related duties, and conduct audits in accordance with the audit plan and the operating procedures.
2. Auditor to be independent of those in charge of medical device development or monitoring.
3. Audit report to document the matters confirmed in the audit and an audit certificate to verify that the audit has been conducted. Submit report and certificate to the sponsor


Article 42. Audit (sponsor-investigator)
1. The sponsor-investigator shall prepare an audit plan as well as the operating procedures for the related duties, and conduct audits in accordance with the audit plan and the operating procedures.
2. Auditor shall not be engaged in the clinical trial at the medical institution where the clinical trial is conducted (including its preparation and management) or in monitoring.
3. Audit report to document the matters confirmed in the audit and an audit certificate to verify that the audit has been conducted. Submit report and certificate to the sponsor-investigator and the head of the medical institution.


An audit on individual clinical trials shall be conducted by deciding on:
+ the subject of the audit, i.e. medical institution and other facilities engaged in the clinical trial
+ the timing of the audit taking into account the
* importance of the clinical trial for application to the regulatory authorities
* number of subjects
* type and complexity of the clinical trial
* level of risk posed by the clinical trial to subjects,
* various issues discovered through monitoring.


The auditor is required to
+ visit the medical institution and other facilities engaged in the clinical trial as necessary
+ directly access the source documents to confirm that the clinical trial is being properly conducted and the reliability of the data is fully ensured.
Note: “When a serious noncompliance to the GCP Ordinance is found, the regulatory authorities may request access to the audit report.”

Pre Approval Inspection and things to look for

Following are the key things you should look for pre approval inspection.


  1. Deviations, OOS, product failures
  2. Investigations and CAPA’s
  3. Label control
  4. QA oversight
  5. Management oversight
  6. Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance projects
  7. Process, shipping cleaning method
  8. Vendor and contractor qualification and oversight

Deviations gives the indication of break down in one or all of the following:Equipment, processes, SOP’s, training, culture, QA or management oversight
Product failures are indicators of one or more of the following:Equipment, processes, SOP’s, training, culture, QA or management oversight as well as testing, specifications and change control

Investigations contain following things

  • Depth of root cause analysis
  • asking all the questions
  • is the documentation Adequate
  • A recurring theme and if so why“Super investigation” initiation
  • Adequate time allocated Investigation completed in a timely manner
  • Management awareness of issues

CAPA

  • Point issue versus holistic solution
  • Logical and encompassing CAPA’s
  • CAPA effectiveness – evidence
  • Adequate time allocated
  • Recurring issues – is the CAPA a cut and paste
  • SOP rewrite and training do not solve all problems
  • Management awareness of issues – did they act in a timely fashion

Label Control

  • Largest reason for recall
  • Processes for master labeling control must be adequate
  • Label control on production floor must be defined and followed
  • Labelers and packaging lines must be validated
  • Process history must support operations

QA Oversight/Mgt Oversight

  • Very clear in Warning Letters but sometimes hidden in 483’s
  • QA disposition lots not a committee
  • QA’s role in stopping production
  • QA reporting relationship –org charts must represent real life
  • Discretionary budget
  • QA’s voice at the right table
  • Does the senior person on site know what is going on
  • This could be the CEO
  • Does the head person hear the good and the bad news and from whom

Validation (Proc, Ship, Clean & QC )

  • Is it a living discipline? Or is it a paper hurdle?
  • Is validation a one time activity?
  • Development reports must support validation which supports batch records
  • Validation is not a development activity
  • Validation must support what you claim for your process
  • Methods used, in compendial, must be valid
  • Deviations in the reports must be addressed

For detailed explanation of above points i would recommend the training.
