Investigative Priorities

OCI priorities include:

Breaches in the legitimate medical supply chain by individuals and organizations dealing in unapproved, counterfeit, and substandard medical products
Criminal violations in situations where the normal regulatory process has been unable to remedy the problem
Criminal violations where the risk of harm to the public health is particularly significant and the only remedy appears to be through the criminal process
Criminal conduct that prevents the FDA from being able to properly regulate. This includes false statements to the FDA during the regulatory process and obstruction of justice.
