FDA 21 CFR PART 111

The FDA issued the Dietary Supplement Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) Final Rule FDA CFR Part 111 in 2007, requiring proper controls be in place for dietary supplements during manufacturing, testing, quality control, packaging, labeling, holding operations, and distribution. This ruling ensures that dietary supplements disclose an accurate listing of supplemental ingredients, and applies to all domestic and international manufacturers.

Intellect works closely with health and life sciences and other regulated industries to provide a highly flexible, configurable, and integrated system to help organizations comply with FDA regulations, including FDA 21 CFR Part 111.

FDA 21 CFR PART 210-211

Since 1962, the FDA that all drugs be produced according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and this should be in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 210-211. Later, the word “current” was added to make it “CGMP” or “cGMP” to signify that the regulation allows for changing technology to attain GMP.

FDA 21 CFR Part 210-211 contains the minimum CGMP for methods to be used in the manufacture, processing, packaging, and holding of drugs to ensure they meet compliance and regulatory requirements, ensuring the safety, quality, and purity of drug products.

FDA 21 CFR PART 606

21 CFR 606 provides the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements for blood banks, labs, and blood-related establishments to ensure that blood for human use are safe, pure, and effective. Blood establishments must meet process and production controls, equipment regulations, and quality assurance requirements found in CFR 21 Part 11 as specified by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) compliance programs.

FDA 21 CFR PART 820

Medical Device Manufacturers must meet FDA 21 CFR 820 compliance, also known as Quality System Regulation (QSR) requirements. QSR outlines Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations that govern the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the design, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, installation, and servicing of all finished devices intended for human use. Medical device manufacturers undergo FDA inspections to ensure FDA 21 CFR 820 compliance, and these requirements are meant to ensure that medical devices are safe and effective.

FDA 21 CFR PART 1270-1271

Medical organizations and laboratories must comply with 21 CFR 1270-1271 for Good Tissue Practices (GTPs) for blood and biologics. Human cell, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) are critical in cardiac surgery, reconstructive surgery, and other medical surgeries and procedures. The FDA protects the HCT/P supply by enforcing the Good Tissue Practice (GTP) requirements in 21 CFR Part 1270 and 21 CFR Part 1271, and thereby ensuring safety of HCT/Ps by preventing the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable disease.
