There was one company in a city associated with Franklin County that received FDA citations as a result of one inspection conducted in the county in April, according to reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This is an increase over the number of companies cited in the previous month.

The citations in the county include:

• The stand-alone software that is regulated as a medical device did not provide its unique device identifier through either an easily readable plain-text statement displayed whenever the software is started or an easily readable plain-text statement displayed through a menu command.
• Procedures to ensure that all purchased or otherwise received product and services conform to specified requirements have not been adequately established.
• Complaints involving the possible failure of a device to meet any of its specifications were not reviewed, evaluated and investigated where necessary.

The company cited should take a voluntary action to correct its managing operations.

The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplace and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly.

The FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety quality, according to its website.
