A recent analysis of our data found that out of 72 inspected sites that had received warning letters, 59 (82%) had been cited for CAPA, and many also struggled with related areas like complaint handling and nonconforming product controls. In this guest post, Jackie T. from @qlearadvisors shares some actionable advice on how to improve your CAPA. https://lnkd.in/g_zK_R-V

What exactly are the FDA’s requirements for CAPA? A compliant CAPA process should include: ●?????Data collection and trend analysis ●?????Investigation the cause of the non-conformities ●?????Actions needed to correct and prevent recurrence ●?????Ensuring information is shared with the right stakeholders ●?????Submitting relevant information for management review ●?????Assessing and prioritising issues based on risk ●?????Documenting all the above activities But, it’s not just your own internal non-conformances that your CAPA process should be addressing. The FDA requires you to develop procedures for handling CAPAs related to supplier quality issues, too. These should include how you communicate with suppliers, track their corrective actions, and verify their effectiveness. A supplier management process is essential. Feel free to save the diagram below to help you identify the internal and external inputs for initiating your CAPA process:

Dare to be different (or same)! Lab quality is more similar than we realize. The essentials to a good Corrective/Preventive Action process is the same regardless of compliance...... FDA, EPA, DOD, CDC, ______ (write in). Whichever agency you must comply with, step outside of the box and see what can be learned from other analytical disciplines. I can almost guarantee that everyone has tips that others can use. Networking for best practices is always beneficial! #Pacelabs #Environmental #Health #Quality

The #1 issue FDA finds with CAPA procedures. In 2023, FDA issued 252 inspection observations related to establishing procedures for corrective and preventive action. ?? This was the most common finding, just like it is every year. Let's break it down a bit more. Of all the requirements in 820.100, two main things showed up the most in warning letters last year. One of those is analyzing sources of quality data to identify quality problems. So, how can you make sure this doesn't happen to you? During your planning, you should do the following: ?? Identify important sources of data (complaints, suppliers, service, etc.). ?? Provide enough resources, including personnel, infrastructure, or training. ???? Set up clear roles and responsibilities for those people. ? Define what's needed for each data source, including limits, acceptance criteria, escalation criteria, and ways to report issues. ?? Analyze the data from these sources. By doing this, you can make sure your quality processes connect to measurement/analysis/improvement, and avoid getting an observation of your own! (I'll touch on the second biggest CAPA procedure FDA finds in another post!) P.S. If you liked this post you'll enjoy my newsletter.

“Death by CAPA” refers to the overwhelming burden of an inefficient or excessively complicated Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) process. This often results in unresolved issues, reduced effectiveness, and a drain on resources. To avoid this scenario, it’s crucial to streamline and optimize the CAPA process to address issues efficiently and improve overall quality management. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dn_WvqXZ
