NY mdi CONSULTANTS, INC (mdi) and NJ FDAAWARE April 5, 2016 – mdi, the leader in FDA regulatory consulting since 1978, and FDAAWARE have entered into a Partnership to make the Life Science Industries, regulated by the FDA, familiar with the newly developed cloud-based database to assist with reducing the risk of regulatory issues during upcoming FDA inspections.

FDAAWARE is the ONLY cloud-based risk management platform fully integrated with FDA FOIA gathering compliance intelligence to assist companies in understanding and evaluating the most up to date FDA regulatory stance allowing companies to potentially reduce the likelihood/severity of 483s. FDAAWARE uses a unique algorithm, combined with client-specific inputs, to identify potential risk areas, assist in significantly reducing clients’ compliance risk, and better prepare them for future inspections.

In over 38 years in business, mdi has been very careful in partnering and promoting “new” items to their clients and industry. After mdi had a chance to review and use the FDAAWARE database, we determined this platform could be a very valuable tool to the Life Science Industries in developing a better understanding of what is being keyed in on by the FDA investigators. The FDAAWARE database not only supplies the inspectional 483s and warning letters, the database also sorts the observations via their corresponding regulatory statue to demonstrate the areas of major FDA concern. As a database user, you would also be able to sort the information by a particular FDA investigator (which is a very useful function when preparing for a scheduled FDA inspection). This FDAAWARE database can save a company a lot of time and effort in trying to prioritize the risks associated with an upcoming inspection, down to the investigator’s pet peeves. The information collected in the database could also serve as a great training tool for strengthening your Quality System.

mdi will be able to provide companies who use the FDAAWARE database with assistance on interpreting the significance and associated risk of the regulatory issues found with past inspectional 483s / Recall / Warning Letters / EIR database.
