- Summary: On April 11, 2014, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Sanmina SCI AB following an inspection from December 9-12, 2013, at their Ornskoldsvik, Sweden facility. The inspection revealed that the firm's Afinion AS 100 Analyzer for Axis-Shield (Norway) devices were adulterated under 21 U.S.C. § 351(h) due to non-conformity with the Quality System regulation (21 CFR Part 820).

Key violations included:
1.  **Failure to establish and maintain CAPA procedures (21 CFR 820.100(a))**: The firm did not identify actions to correct and prevent recurrence of nonconforming product and failed to verify or validate corrective actions.

2.  **Failure to validate processes (21 CFR 820.75(a))**: Process validation for the (b)(4) process was inadequate, specifically lacking a performance qualification (
