The manual provides a system for issuing and filing written program plans and instructions which direct the work of FDA Field Operations. The manual is broken into four program areas: foods and cosmetics, drugs and biologics, veterinary medicine, and medical and radiological devices. Compliance programs are written to accomplish the following objectives: (a) provides uniform guidance and specific instructions for gathering and presenting evidence needed to support the various agency regulatory operations when noncompliance is encountered in industry and/or products; (b) gather product or industry information within a specified timeframe to determine the existence or extent of a problem; (c) accumulate data on a known problem to determine the long range trends on a statistical basis.
