Sarasota Review

There were five companies in a city associated with Sarasota County that received FDA citations as a result of five inspections conducted in the county throughout 2024, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is a 25% increase over the number of companies cited in the previous year.

The citations in the county include:

• The written MDR procedure does not include an internal system which provides for timely transmission of complete medical device reports to FDA.
• Procedures for training and identifying training needs have not been established.
• Document control procedures have not been adequately maintained.

Most of the companies cited were involved in the Devices sector.

All of the companies cited should take voluntary actions to correct their managing operations.

The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplace and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly.

According to its website, the FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality.
