  16. After US FDA Inspection The following types of letters is typically sent from the FDA  INV • A letter - FDA observed basic compliance with pertinent regulations. The letter might not be sent when FDA observes no significant deviations. • An “Informational or Untitled Letter” – deviations from statutes and regulations that do not meet the threshold of regulatory significance for a Warning Letter. A response from INV is normally required. • A “Warning Letter” – Serious deviations to statutes and regulations (may lead to enforcement action if not promptly and adequately corrected). Request for correction and a written response. • A Notice of Initiation of Disqualification Proceeding and Opportunity to Explain – may disqualify the INV from receiving IMP | US FDA Inspection | Nattharat Laemlukvorakul | 01-Mar-13 | Business Use Only
