Death by CAPA - Does your CAPA Program need a CAPA?

Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) is the foundation of a robust Quality Management System (QMS). Building a compliant, effective, and solid CAPA process into the QMS is the only way by which a company's QMS can guarantee safe and effective products.

A weak CAPA process invites disastrous consequences like complaints, recalls, 483s, and Warning Letters. It is a fact that CAPA is one of the most frequently cited reasons by the FDA for issuing 483’s and Warning Letters. Moreover, a…
