These lapses raised significant concerns about the integrity and reliability of the data generated by these facilities. In September 2024, the FDA had issued warning letters to both institutions, highlighting their failure to maintain adequate laboratory controls and compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Impact and Guidance<\/strong><br>The FDA has advised medical device manufacturers to carefully evaluate third-party test data, particularly from international laboratories, to ensure that all submissions meet regulatory standards.
