Passage 3Your firm failed to perform appropriate testing on your hand sanitizer and antibacterial hand soap drug products prior to release for distribution. Specifically, during the inspection, you stated that no chemical or microbiological analyses are performed on your finished drug products.
Passage 4Your firm failed to establish written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the drug products you manufacture have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess (21 CFR 211.100(a)).
Passage 5You failed to validate the processes used to manufacture your drug products. You also failed to qualify the equipment used to manufacture your drug products.
Passage 6Failure to address violations may also cause FDA to withhold issuance of Export Certificates.

We may re-inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to address any violations.
