Resources

Four places to go deeper than this lesson, or to check a citation yourself before it goes into a real Lakeshore filing. All four were checked and loading at the time this page was written.

• 21 CFR 606.171, eCFR — the full section this lesson quotes from: who must report (a), how (d), where (e), and how this duty relates to other FDA regulations (f). eCFR’s “current as of” banner is useful for confirming you’re reading the in-force version.

• 21 CFR 606.171, Cornell Legal Information Institute — the same section, formatted for quick paragraph-by-paragraph reading, useful as a second copy to cross-check a quote against.

• FDA, General Instructions for Completing the Biological Product Deviation Report (BPDR) — Form FDA 3486 — FDA’s own public instructions page for the form this lesson’s walkthrough describes at a conceptual level. Useful if you ever need the actual field-by-field layout, which this lesson deliberately doesn’t reproduce.

• FDA, Instructions for Using the eBPDR System — FDA’s own instructions for the electronic filing channel 606.171(e)(2) describes as “CBER’s electronic Web-based application.” Worth reading before recommending electronic filing to a team that’s never used it.
