GLOSSARYGlobal
Correction
Action taken to eliminate a detected nonconformity itself. Rework and regrading are examples. A correction does not address the cause and can be taken before, with, or after a corrective action.
Avoid This Mistake
In the device correction and removal rules, the word means something else: under 21 CFR 806.2(d) it is a repair, adjustment, relabeling, or other action on a device where it is used.
