What is an FDA Form 483?

A Form FDA 483 lists an FDA investigator’s written observations at the close of a facility inspection, issued under section 704(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It documents conditions the investigator judged may violate FDA regulations. A 483 is not an enforcement action or a final determination that a violation occurred.

Does this Form 483 mean Cardinal Health 414, LLC violated the law?

No. A Form 483 documents an investigator's observations only. FDA reviews the firm's written response and any corrective actions taken before deciding whether further action is warranted, and many 483s are closed without additional enforcement once a firm shows adequate correction.

What happens after a Form 483 is issued?

The firm typically has 15 business days to submit a written response describing planned corrections. FDA reviews that response, and unresolved or serious findings can lead to a Warning Letter, import alert, or other enforcement action, though many 483s are resolved without further FDA action.
