First i want to thank the folks whom helped me with my 510(k) issue a few weeks back. Appreciated
Now I have a new dilema. In January the company I currently work for was cited in a 483 for shipping a device without 510(k) approval. (my original thread was to address this problem)
We did the new 510(k) but have not received any feedback, however, the owner is continuing to ship product to buyers, and also continues to modify the machines without design control.
A very heated argument erupted this afternoon relating to a GDP issues along with the blatant falsification of an MIR (Manufacturing inspection report) by the Mfg Manager.
As the QA Director I immediately siezed that unit from going out the door. With the owner out for the day, I said I will take any heat for that unit not shipping and I continue to point out we shouldn't be shipping because the current model we're mfg and selling is not 510(k) approved.
However, I am having massive trouble finding a specific passage or verbage in relation to this dilema.
My biggest concern is not for myself, but for the employees. They're out of the loop and kept in the dark by management, and I know I can get this place on the right path, and I am not willing to give up and walk away, but I need some specific verbage direct from the FDA/CFR that I can use to put a stop to this... If I have to I will go to the FDA... job be damned, but I want to exhaust every avenue before I have to sail that particular ship.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
