SUBJECT: UPDATE ON FDA PROCESSING
FDA HAS COMPLETED LOADING APPROXIMATELY 3000 ENTRIES SUBMITTED FROM
JANUARY 14-21 THAT WERE NOT PROPERLY LOADED DUE TO RECENT SYSTEM
PROBLEMS. FDA BELIEVES THIS REPRESENTS THE VAST MAJORITY OF ENTRIES
THAT WERE NOT AVAILABLE IN OASIS FOR FDA REVIEW AND PROCESSING. THIS
PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN A HUGE BACKLOG FOR FDA ENTRY REVIEWERS. PLEASE
BE PATIENT WHILE THEY ATTEMPT TO CATCH UP. IF YOU ARE STILL WAITING
FOR RESPONSES ON MONDAY MORNING, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FDA OFFICE AND
IDENTIFY THE ENTRY NUMBERS AND TRANSMISSION DATE AND TIME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
