A Top-Down Inspection is the FDA's latest inspection strategy in which inspectors are taught to evaluate the quality system and sampling quality system records.
The "top-down" approach begins each subsystem review with an evaluation of whether the firm has addressed the basic requirements in that subsystem by defining and documenting appropriate procedures. This is followed by an analysis of whether the firm has implemented the requirements of that subsystem.
