SERVICES Mock Pre-Approval Inspection (PAI) Services

    The FDA Group delivers comprehensive mock PAI audits to help pharmaceutical and biologics companies prepare for this critical regulatory milestone.

    Preparing thoroughly for FDA Pre-Approval Inspections

    The pre-approval inspection represents a critical gateway for bringing new products to market, with significant business implications tied to the outcome. Our approach to mock PAIs focuses on creating realistic scenarios that challenge your team and systems in the same ways FDA investigators will during the actual inspection. We evaluate your facilities, quality systems, and application-specific elements against current regulatory expectations, helping you address gaps before they become inspection observations.

    Our mock PAI services include, but are certainly not limited to:

    • Comprehensive Facility Assessment

      Thorough evaluation of manufacturing facilities, equipment, and systems against PAI expectations.

    • Application Review

      Critical examination of submitted information against on-site reality to identify potential data integrity concerns.

    • Process Validation Review

      In-depth assessment of process validation documentation, data, and implementation.

    • Laboratory Systems Evaluation

      Detailed review of testing methods, data, and controls referenced in your application.

    • Personnel Interviews

      Realistic interview scenarios to prepare staff for interaction with FDA investigators.

    • GMP System Assessment

      Evaluation of quality systems with a focus on elements critical to application approval.

    • Detailed Finding Reports

      Comprehensive documentation of observations with remediation recommendations and optional execution support.
