Case

FDA Inspection

GN Hearing A/S

Challenge

  • At 3 months’ notice, Corporate Quality at GN Hearing was advised that an inspection would be conducted by the FDA.
  • GN Hearing’s Executive Management would accept a maximum and 3-5 deviations (483’s), no warning letter (WL).

Vi valgte Genau & More til opgaven, da vi inden den forestående inspektion havde behov for management consulting og ikke blot projektledelse.

Vi havde behov for en tæt partner, der kunne bistå os i at tænke inspektionsparathed ind i vores kvalitetsstrategi og sikre en langsigtet implementering heraf, så vi i virkeligheden altid ville være inspektionsparate.

  • Establishment of heatmap (risk matrix / risk grid) guiding priorities.
  • Breakdown of actions into workstreams and action plans.
  • Training in Good Inspection Practice, ensuring proper attitude and behaviour.
  • Good housekeeping and clean-up communication to the company one week before audit.
  • Establishment of governance structure with C-level, line management and project organization, incl. direct access to board of directors.

Results

  • One 483.
  • Converting compliance issues to a common understanding for ‘Sense of Urgency’. This has provided a good indicator of the level and the majority of GN Hearing’s work with quality and compliance.
