# FDA Compliance Workflow: Turning Recall Signals into Action
2026-10-01

How compliance teams should handle FDA recall signals in practice — triage by class, notify, document, and close the loop.


## The compliance loop: Compliance isn't 'see a recall, react once'. It is a repeatable loop: detect, triage, notify, document, close. A structured recall feed makes that loop automatable and auditable at the same time.
## Triage by classification: **Class I** → immediate stop-use, internal incident ticket, customer outreach, escalate to leadership. **Class II** → review, determine if your stock/patients are affected, schedule corrective action on its normal cycle. **Class III** → documentation review; confirm no patient impact; log and move on. Filtering the feed by class lets the workflow route each event to the right response depth automatically.
## Documentation and auditing: Every action should trail back to the source record — date, firm, product, class, reason. A machine-readable feed makes this audit trail automatic. Inspectors and partner audits ask 'show us how you track recalls'. A structured, timestamped feed is a much stronger answer than scattered emails.

## FAQ
- **Do we have to act on every recall?** No — a feed lets you filter by class and relevance so you act only on events that affect you.
- **Is this required by regulators?** Compliance expectations vary, but demonstrable recall monitoring is a standard element of a strong quality program.
