The USFDA has determined that the inspection classification of the facility is Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI).”This is a significant milestone as we build back our reputation of being best-in-class in quality and compliance. We look forward to new product approvals and launches, especially ophthalmic products from this facility now,” Lupin Managing Director Nilesh Gupta stated.The US Food and Drug Administration issues an EIR on closure of an inspection of an establishment that is the subject of an FDA or FDA-contracted scrutiny.
As per the USFDA, a VAI means that objectionable conditions or practices were found, but the agency is not prepared to take or recommend any administrative or regulatory action.
