What a vet report looks like

Every vetting check exports as a dated, audit-ready report a quality team can file: the status lists checked, including the lists that returned no match, the inspection history, the findings, any warning letters, and a methodology note. This one is filled in with a fictional record.

Fictional sample. The clinical investigator, site, FEI number, dates, findings and warning letter below are invented and do not describe any real person or organization. A real report has the same sections, filled from the FDA record.

OAI is the most serious inspection classification FDA assigns. Often it leads eventually to a warning letter.

Next steps a sponsor can take: asking the site for their responses and corrective action plans, visiting the site before signing, or choosing a site without this history. The report documents the record; the decision is yours.

Appendix A — Findings detail and Appendix B — Warning letter text follow in a real report, so the exported PDF stands alone in a quality file. They are omitted from this sample.
Methodology. This report is a point-in-time snapshot of the publicly available FDA Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) record for the subject named above. Inspections, findings and warning letters are matched by exact legal name or FEI number as recorded by FDA; FDA spells names inconsistently, so a no-match result should be re-run under known name variants or the FEI number if known. Disqualification, debarment and pre-2009 CDER and CBER inspection lists carry names only, so those checks match on the parts of the name and are labeled “name match” — identity must be confirmed before relying on a match. Scope is drug and biologic clinical research; records outside that scope are noted but not shown. This report documents the record; it does not make recommendations or provide regulatory advice.

Clinical Precedent™ — clinical site intelligence from the FDA record Built from FDA Bioresearch Monitoring data. This release covers CDER and CBER inspections of clinical investigators, sponsors, sponsor-investigators, CROs and IRBs — drug and biologic clinical research. At this time, it does not cover bioequivalence (BEQ), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), postmarketing adverse drug experience (PADE) or REMS inspections, device trials (CDRH) or veterinary products (CVM). The service reports the record; it does not make recommendations or provide regulatory advice. It does not cover other factors in clinical investigator selection — therapeutic-area expertise, site capabilities, your own history with the clinical investigator, enrollment track record, and your qualification visit. Sources last checked 2026-10-13 — every source is checked daily; updated whenever new FDA information is available.
