Passage 1

Your firm failed to thoroughly investigate any unexplained discrepancy or failure of a batch or any of its components to meet any of its specifications, whether or not the batch has already been distributed (21 CFR 211.192).

Passage 2

Your firm failed to establish laboratory controls that include scientifically sound and appropriate specifications, standards, sampling plans, and test procedures designed to assure that components, drug product containers, closures, in-process materials, labeling, and drug products conform to appropriate standards of identity, strength, quality, and purity (21 CFR 211.160(b)).

Passage 3

Your firm failed to establish and follow adequate written procedures for cleaning and maintenance of equipment; and failed to perform operations within specifically defined areas of adequate size; and failed to have separate or defined areas or such other control systems necessary to prevent contamination or mix-ups (21 CFR 211.67(b) and 21 CFR 211.42(c)).

Passage 4

Failure to address violations may also cause FDA to withhold issuance of Export Certificates. FDA may withhold approval of new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer until any violations are completely addressed and we confirm your compliance with CGMP. We may re-inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to address any violations.
