Our facility (which repaired medical equipment) had 0 inspections from the FDA over the 3 years I worked there. When "corporate" came down to inspect us, our boss was given 2 weeks notice so he had time to get everything "up to snuff" before they arrived, and so his bosses wouldn't look bad. Believe me, there was plenty to be done in those 2 weeks. New supplies to be ordered (because re-use was a big cost saver, and my boss apparently got a kickback for keeping costs low), safety equipment/materials put to use for a change, etc. I used to work for Baxter.
