Expectations of FACT Inspectors

FACT’s aim is to send out the most qualified inspectors. All inspectors satisfy specific educational and practical experience prerequisites to ensure they are proficient in the areas they inspect. Inspectors are active in the field of cellular therapy product administration and/or cord blood banking. Once determined eligible to serve as an inspector, the individual must:

    • Complete and sign statements of compliance for FACT’s Confidentiality and Duality of Interest policies.
    • Conduct two FACT inspections per year.
    • Commit to the necessary time for each inspection, including time to prepare, visit the site, and write the inspection report.
