Thank you for taking a few moments in your busy day and allowing me to introduce myself.

My name is Allen Frutig and I have over fifty professional years of industrial manufacturing experience in quality documentation management. With a Master’s Degree in Government Public Relations from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, my career expertise focus has been in U.S. Regulatory Manufacturing Documentation Requirements, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) voluntary standards and the International Standards Organization (ISO) Certification Program Specifications. As a BECA Board Certified Professional Safety (CPSA) and Environmental (CPEA) Auditor, my skills proficiency in government regulatory law, institutional standards, and certification body standards has been validated and documented.

The intent of this introductory letter is to share with you a valid discernment of how, in the very near future, regulatory requirements for manufacturing documentation is going to fundamentally evolve into a higher level of oversight scrutiny and documentation accuracy expectations. Our modern industrial age is at a paramount moment when electronic computerized advancements will fundamentally revamp a company’s relationship with their respective government regulatory agencies and international certification organizations. In addition to increasing regulatory oversight surveillance, this developing technological ennoblement also brings with it a unique opportunity for the industrial manufacturing industry to invigorate production quality efficiency and maximize company profitability.  

The governmental groundwork necessary for designing, coding, and engineering this sweeping change in regulatory computerized monitoring system programs has already been achieved. The Foundational Groundwork for this advancement in regulatory monitoring and control was developed, implemented and validated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is the FDA Sentinel Initiative Program that was launched in 2007, now referred to as the Sentinel Program.

The Sentinel Program is the FDA’s national electronic system which transformed the way regulators monitor the safety performance of FDA-regulated medical products, including drugs, vaccines, biologics, and medical devices. Since its inception in 2007, each year that the FDA has reported to the U.S. Congress on the performance of the Sentinel Program, FDA has stated emphatically that it is “Performing beyond our expectations”.   

As a current functioning tool in the U.S. Healthcare Industry, the Sentinel Program is being employed during every patient’s doctor visit.  It is now a requirement that all of the information gathered between the patient and doctor is recorded on a computer. With HIPPA Law protection in place, that information is simultaneously uploaded to the FDA for review and research. The stated intent of the Sentinel Program is to monitor in real time the performance of FDA-regulated medical products and to protect the public health.       

Currently, all of this generated data is being analyzed at FDA by programmers utilizing analytical software programs. It is a laborious, but time-effective analytical process that is being applied mainly to medical drug product performance. However, compared to the historical hands-on product reviewing methodology previously utilized that often required years to compile, the Sentinel Program has been able to reduce drug effectiveness analysis from “years” to a few months. With this spectacular performance of the Sentinel Program, FDA is now expanding its vision. FDA has stated that the department will “Cultivate a robust scientific community to uncover novel ways to leverage the system’s core capabilities beyond drug safety”.       

The next evolutionary change that will take place within this phenomenal Sentinel Program is to enhance it with Artificial Intelligence Technology (AI). With an AI Sentinel Program, effectiveness of a medical product will be able to be validated, or refuted, in a matter of weeks.

AI Sentinel Program implementation is a momentous pivotal point in government oversight regulatory history. It will impact every manufacturer in our industrial age.   

With the validation of the effectiveness of FDA’s AI Sentinel Program, the system will not be contained to just Medical Prescription Performance tracking and review. It will be extended into the medical device and health products manufacturing functions that are regulated under 21CFR 820 FDA Regulatory Compliance Standard Requirements.

Consider this viable probability. A medical device is always manufactured to quality specifications established in an FDA Premarket Approval Authorization. During the production process, individual products are measured and documented for validation to Premarket Blueprint Approved Specifications. These quality control documents are contained in each manufactured product’s individual Device History Record file.

With AI Sentinel Program capability, FDA will have the ability to advance their oversight monitoring capability. As is often the case with government regulatory oversight administration, I expect AI Implementation to be realized in two phases.

Phase I of AI Enactment would be incorporating it into FDA’s Compliance Auditing Function. Traditionally, during an on-site audit, the auditor will request various documents and records. They will then proceed to read through the documents searching for verbiage and data which validates that the company is in compliance and following regulatory requirements. This visual review process of company documentation is tedious, labor intensive, and consumes a copious amount of audit time. It also requires that the auditor make judgmental conclusions regarding the company’s compliance to the regulation specifications.

With an AI Sentinel Auditing Program, regulatory requirements stipulated in FDA Standards will be built into the program.  During an on-site audit, documents requested by the auditor would be scanned into the AI computer program. Almost instantaneously, those documents will be reviewed, analyzed, and adjudicated to compliance with FDA Standards. For those QMS elements in the company documentation that validates conformance with related standards, compliance with the regulation specification is authenticated and closed.     

If the FDA AI Sentinel Auditing Program does not validate compliance to a standard element, it would identify that element as a “Potential Non-compliance Finding”. With this finding, the auditor would proceed with investigating the issue in greater detail, to determine the factual status of the company’s compliance with the standard’s specifications and intent.  

An FDA AI Sentinel Auditing Program presents several positive management improvements to the department:

• On-site audit time could be significantly reduced.
• The number of annual manufacturing on-site audits could significantly increase.
• A lower number of FDA Auditor Employees could be conducting more audits.
• The over-sight responsibility of FDA for ensuring public health and safety would be enhanced.  

Eventually, a Phase II AI Sentinel Auditing Program will establish a program in which the manufacturing company will be required to scan the Device History File of each manufactured medical device and upload the file contents to FDA’s AI Sentinel Program.  The manufacturer will then wait to receive a return FDA Quality Approval for that individual part or lot and issue authorization for shipping it to the designated customer.  

With current technology, the manpower and time required to accomplish this level of oversight scrutiny today, even with the base Sentinel Program, is cost prohibitive. However, with the introduction of AI Technology into the Sentinel Program, time and cost will diminish and no longer be an adverse consideration.

FDA Pre-authorization Approval prior to shipment will become a standard regulatory requirement. This oversight requisite will eventually filter down to Tier II and Tire III medical suppliers as well. By implementing the AI Sentinel Program, FDA will have the capability to review the complete manufacturing process from raw material to final product.                

With this level of AI sophistication and proven performance validation, the AI Sentinel Program Methodology will move beyond the confines of the FDA. The potential application possibilities that the AI Sentinel Program presents to numerous government agencies are provocative.

Our Industrial Age History continually demonstrates that once an individual improvement methodology performs effectively for one segment in society, other elements in the society will quickly apply it. In the U.S. Government, other regulatory oversight departments such as The Department of Commerce, Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), OSHA, EPA and the Department of Treasury, will eventually implement their own version of the AI Sentinel Program.

Beyond the U.S. other nations will be implementing their own AI Sentinel-type programs. And as this is evolving in global governments, private industry oversight bodies will also be developing similar AI Sentinel-type programs. This adaptation for compliance obligation validation will defiantly be implemented by top Manufacturing Certification Bodies such as the International Standards Organization (ISO), International Automotive Task Force (IATF), the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANSVIA), International Aerospace Accrediting Commission (IAAC) and Aerospace Quality Management System Certification Bodies (ASCB’s).

For manufacturers, the managerial impact of this technological advancement in monitoring oversight capabilities will either be adversely overwhelming or an opportunity to grow their business and secure their economic well-being. Manufacturers that do not comprehend or adjust to these coming AI Technological Advancements will struggle to remain in business. And these evolutionary technical advancements will be realized over the next several years. To gain a better understanding of the exponential rate of AI development, I suggest that you review the Stanford University Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Index Report 2025.   

For businesses where Executive Management comprehends that AI Program capabilities will become a fundamental component in required manufacturing Quality Performance Documentation Validation Programs, there is an opportunity right now to excel and solidify their company in the Industrial Marketplace. For this to be realized in the manufacturing industry, the commitment and ownership for making the necessary documentation operational improvement changes must come from the Top Executive Management Level.

It is a simple truth that lower management levels simply do not have the inclination, desire, or time to institute fundamental changes. They are focused, and rightly so, on achieving the daily task necessary for producing the product’s ordered volume, within the required quality design specifications and delivering it to the customer on time.

The Good News for Executive Management is that the required changes in Quality Documentation Practices are uncomplicated, logical, and harmonious with quality systems currently certified by organizations such as the International Standards Organization ISO 9001 Standard. Even Better News is that implementing the appropriate Operational Documentation Management System Methodology, can generate a Return-On-Investment that is “Performing beyond your greatest expectations”.

The essential element for achieving this desired expectation is having a manufacturing documentation program system that is specifically designed to function successfully in this AI Computerized Reality.  The ideal manufacturing documentation program that achieves regulatory compliance, certification standard specifications, and manages manufacturing obligations for quality, safety and environmental performance, must be written as a Harmonious Quality Management System Program.      

This is where Frutig’s Intellectual Property Transfer’s “Operational Documentation Management System (ODMS)” distinguishes itself as an Asset with a phenomenal Return-On-Investment.
