FDA 483 - Medico Electrodes International LTD. - August 20, 2018

This document outlines the regulatory basis for an FDA Form 483, issued under Section 704(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 374(b)). The purpose of an FDA Form 483 is to report objectionable conditions or practices observed during an inspection that, in the judgment of the FDA officer, indicate products such as food, drugs, devices, or cosmetics are adulterated. This includes situations where products consist of filthy, putrid, or decomposed substances, or have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions that could lead to contamination or render them injurious to health. The document details the statutory requirement for inspectors to provide this written report to the inspected firm's representative before concluding the inspection. However, the provided content lacks specific details such as a company name, inspection dates, a list of particular violations or issues found, or any specific required actions for a company. It focuses solely on the legal foundation and general purpose of the FDA Form 483. This record was released on May 30, 2019, under FOIA request 2018-7596.
