USA MedTech: Pure Global on The FDA's 'Forever Audit' Rule

The game has changed. This week, the US FDA implemented a 'Total Product Life Cycle' inspection model, shifting regulatory focus from a one-time market approval to a continuous, career-long scrutiny of your medical device. This episode of MedTech Global Insights breaks down what this means for manufacturers and why your old compliance strategies are no longer enough. We explore the practical consequences of this shift. Imagine your device has been on the market for seven years. Are you prepared for an FDA inspector to demand a direct link between a customer complaint filed yesterday and a risk analysis document from the original design phase? This is the new reality, and a gap in that story could put your entire operation at risk.
