Corrective Action and Preventive Action / CAPA are required quality measures that must be maintained as outlined in the 21 CFR 820.100 and 21 CFR 211.180 regulations and in ISO 8402. The purpose of CAPA is to make sure the root cause of any problem is addressed so that current or future problems will be alleviated. As witnessed from FDA Form 483 observations and warning letters published on the FDA's Website, corrective action and preventive action problems are dealt with strictly during FDA systems-based inspections. According to the FDA, 30 percent to 50 percent of all 483s are directly due to CAPA nonconformances. These percentages have varied when using different inspection methods by FDA inspectors such as the Quality Systems Inspection Technique / QSIT.

through its integrated quality management software suite that consists of full-featured, integrated modules for
