If you have any questions, please cootad FDA al the phone number and address above.
DURING AN INSPECTION OF YOUR FIRM (I) (WE) OBSERVED:
OBSERVATION 1
Aseptic processing areas are deficient regarding the system for monitoring environmental conditions. Specifically, environmental monitoring (EM) samples are not taken in high-risk areas or so that they represent t he conditions of the areas being monitored. For example:
a. The material pass-through box, which is used to transfer materials between the uncontrolled dispensing room and the ISO 7 clean room, is not monitored on any frequency.
b. Fingertip samples are taken ~ 6)(4) ~he pharmacist[(6) (4) ~'with sterile (6) (4} I The sample is also limited to (b)(4) :on hisKo) -(4) I

Protective apparel is not worn as necessary to protect drug products from contamination. Specifically, on 3/13/2018, I observed t he aseptic attire worn in the cleanroom does not include goggles, which leaves the skin
of personnel exposed around their eyes and forehead.

Specifically, the pressure gauges used to monitor the differentia ls between the cleanroom, ante room, and uncontrolled areas, are not calibrated.
OBSERVATION 4
Laboratory controls do not include the establishment of scientifically sound and appropriate specifications and test procedures designed to assure that drug products conform to appropriate standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity. Specifically,
a. Visual examination of finished products is not performed under appropriate conditions to identify potential quality issues with injectable drug products. Per SOP 0 -16, Rev. 0, Testing and Release Criteria, effective 12/30/2016, visual inspectors should look for fill volume, particulate matter (PM), container seal/closure, or any other defect. It states PM should be identified using a contrasting background illuminated with [(b) (21-) )ights or brighter. .
Visual inspectors are not provided with a contrasting background and sufficient light for inspection. All products are packaged in amber vials and numerous products are light to dark red in color. On 3/13/ 2018, inspectors were not observed holding vials up to the ceiling lights, the only light source available, during their visual inspection. There is no assurance quality defects are identified during visual inspection of injectable drug products.
b. Finished product release testing does not include (o ) -( 4) 'content, the preservative used in all injectable drug products.
OBSERVATION S
Procedures designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be steri le do not include adequate validation of the sterilization process. Specifically,
a. Pharmaceutical grade, sterilizing!(l5) (4 )~re[(o) (4) 'after use via a[D f{4) 'that is
not in compliance with the manufacturer's test method and has not been independently validated.

In the most recent revision of the media fill record, there is no record of the number of vials which were filled.
OBSERVATION 6
Buildings used in the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of a drug product do not have the suitable construction to facilitate cleaning. Specifically, the materials used for equipment within the ISO 7 cleanroom are not appropriate for the cleaning solutions being used. On 3/13/2018, I observed rust on several HEPA return grates, the ante room door handle, and door frame.
OBSERVATION 7
There is a fai lure to thoroughly review the fai lure of a batch or any of its components to meet any of its specifications whether or not the batch has already been distributed.
Specifically, since 9/24/2015, there have been at least 23 batches found to have potency failures and 13 found to have sterility failures. Each batch was rejected, but investigations lack significant information and do not extend to other similar batches. The QRE (quality related event) investigation forms were initiated beginning in 2017 and each event was classified as " Minor".
For potency failures, thirteen (13) out of the 23 were presumed to be due to weighing errors. The others had potential root causes of incomplete dissolution, light exposure, or none listed. No evidence was provided in any case to support the conclusions. METHYL-PLEX was d iscontinued due to potency failures for three (3) consecutive batches in 2018. No other product formulation incompatibilities were considered during the investigations.

For steril!ty failures, each investigation conch .. ~des aseptic technique should be followed and hand hygiene sampling was performed. Organisms were identified in seven (7) out of the 13 events and Baciflus circulans was identified as the organism in four (4) out of the seven (7) events. Documentation was not reviewed, environmental conditions were not reviewed, EM sampling results were not reviewed, the identified organisms were not evaluated, and these events did not trigger cleaning.
In all investigations, there is a lack of historical review, trend analysis, extension to other batches, a statement regard ing product disposition, and overall quality impact assessment.
***THIS IS A REPEATED OBSERVATION***
OBSERVATION 8
Each lot of drug product containers and closures is not withheld from use until the lot has been sampled, tested, examined, and released by the quality control unit.
Specifically, sterile, depyrogenated drug product containers and closures are accepted after confirming they match the purchase order, without requiring sampling, testing, examination, or release. There is no specification for the containers and closures; there is no requirement to obtain and review the manufacturer certificate of analysis (COA) for each batch received.
OBSERVATION 9
Drug products do not bear an expiration date determined by appropriate stability data to assure they meet applicable standards of identity, strength, quality and purity at the time of use.
Specifically, stability studies have not been initiated for all injectable drug products to support their 6-month (180-day) expiration date. Since 9/24/2015, the following products have been made and distributed without stability studies being initiated/performed:
