FDA在给印度某公司的警告信中描述了无菌注射剂玻璃瓶裂痕的风险。
FDA在警告信中提到:
defects haven't always been detected - particularly when cracks occur in the glass bottle under the cap
当玻璃瓶在铝盖下面的部分产生裂缝时,裂痕是难以发现的。
The company's reply mentions the use of a new test machine assuring 100% controlling which isn't sufficient for the FDA as defects occurring after the filling process cannot be detected
该公司的回复使用新的检测机器来确保100%控制,但这对于FDA来说是不够的,因为灌装工艺之后发生的裂痕是无法检出的。
由此FDA要求:
A risk assessment of all lots of the sterile solution in the U.S. market
对所有在美国市场上的无菌溶液批次进行风险评估
A revision of the CAPA concept regarding the leaking defect
修订关于泄漏缺陷的CAPA概念
An assessment of all other products to determine whether those can also be affected by the leaking defect .
对所有其它产品进行评估,确定是否可能会受到泄漏缺陷的影响
Shipping studies with regard to the leaking defect
对泄漏缺陷进行运输研究
A review of the suitability of the packaging components used for the process including an overview of the qualification status of the packaging suppliers
回顾工艺所用包材部件的适当性,包括对包材供应商的确认状态的综合评估
Process capability studies with regard to capping
