You have your employees conduct a performance challenge oftbeir .aseptic technique on alii basis by having them use media at the end ofa processing run using the tailings ofthe chug product and the same container closure system that they just finished processing. Since 20 II, there were at least 20 failed employee perfmmance checks recorded after employees processed injectable drug products such as Heparin, A vastin, Oxytocin, and Norepinephrine. Contaminated aseptic performance check samples were analyzed and organisms such as bacteria (Staphylococcus sp. and Bacillus sp.) and mold (Penicillium spp) were identified. Your investigations into the failed performailce checks did not evaluate the possible impact on the finished 'drug product<;.

LABORATORY SYSTEM

OBSERVATION 2

Laboratory controls do not include the establishment ofscientifically sound and appropriate sampling plans and test procedures designed to assure that drug products conform to appropriate standards ofidentity, strength, quality and purity.

Specifically, your firm produces approximately. lots .of injectable drug products per day and does not perform the foJlowing testing:

A. Assay or product identification testing for any sterile injectable drug product produced.

B. Sterility testing for ail produced is not performed. Less than 100/o ofthe injectable drug products are tested for sterility per day • • lots, on average) and those drug products are tested using non-<:ompendial methods that have not been vahdated to demonstrate that they are at least as good as the compendia! methods. The written test [Jlethod for the in-house steril~include the quantity ofdrug product to be tested. In addition, there is no assurance the media, • • , is capable ofdetecting all growth.

(IV bags or pre-1illed syringes,) For 94 ofthose drug products, you relied exclusively on literature searches to establish "Use By" dates for the drug product's. You have some stahility data on the other 19 drug products, but the studies for those drug products were incomplete. For example, there was no stability study protocol or final report for Oxytocin 80 Units in 1OOOmL Dextrose 5% Lactated Ringers (D5LR) N Bag, but there ~ testing data. at two time points. That limited data was extrapolated to support all other Oxytocin/Diluent combination "Use By" dates.

OBSERVATION 4

Reserve drug product samples are not retained and stored under conditions consistent with product labeling.

Specifically, you do not collect or store retains for any of the injectable drug products that you produce. Upon receipt of a complaint on March 14, 2013 for visible contamination in Magnesium Sulfate IV bags, you could. not visibly examine, nor perform any analytical testing ofretains.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT SYSTEM

OBSERVATIONS

Equipment used in themanufacture, processing, packing or holding ofdrug products is not ofappropriate design to facilitate operatio~ for its intended use and. cleaning and maintenance.

Specificafly, your firm lacks adequate environmental monitoring data to. support that the process capabilities ofit<> cleamoom can maintain ISO 5 (Class 100) oonditioos at the . work stations, the ISO 6 (Class 1000) conditions in the surrounding area, and the ISO 7 (Class I 0,000) conditions in the gowning room (anteroom) given the following design linUtations and practices.

A. The ISO 7 gowning room serves as the entrance and exit for all personnel, sterile drug products, containers and closures! and non-sterile, non-sanitized processing equipment such as carts and totes that are brought in and out of the cleanroom numerous times during the work day.

B. ~leanroomHEPA filten have operated with leaks for at least one year without being rep o epa

c. There is a sink, an electric band blow drier, mops and other cleaning equipment stored in the ISO 7 gowning room.

D. Several cleanroom exhaust vents are blocked on either the inside or the outside ofthe cleanroom by shelves, bins, and totes.

E. There is an excess ofparticle generating non-sterile material mthe cleanroom such as clipboards with papers, adhesive notes attached to equipment, a radio, and a telephone.

OBSERVATION 9

Separate or defined areas to prevent contammation or mix-ups are deficient regarding the manufacturing and processing operations.

Specifically, your firm is processing beta-Lactam injectable drug products such as Cefaz.olin and Cefepime :from glass vials to IV bags and syringes in the same cleanroom with the rest ofyour non-Beta-Lactam drug products. The absence ofa structurally isolated area creates the potential that accidental breakage ofvials ofBeta-Lactam drug products could contaminate your other drug products. Patients allergic to Beta-Lactaal drug products could be adversely effected. Additionally, the lack: of separation creates the risk that a beta-Lactam drug product could be mislabeled as a non-Beta-Lactam drug product A number ofproblems with your product and label control were noted dwing this inspection (Observation lA).

MATERIALS SYSTEM

OBSERVATION 10

Written procedures are lacking which descn'bc in sufficient detail the receipt, identification, storage, handling, sampling, testing, approval, and rejection ofcomponents, drug product containers, and closures.

Specifically, you purchase or receiye from customers, sterile 8rticles including: dru,g products, diluents in IV bags, syringes, and sterile processing equipment You use these items to p~u.ce injectable drug products without assurance ofsterility by either qualifying the vendor and reviewing certificates ofsterility, or conducting your own quality assurance testing on those articles.

injectable drug products were distributed after they were incorrectly compounded. incorrectly labeled. or incorrectly · packaged (See Observation lA).

B. Your fum's Master Batch Records only require that the primary technician and the primruy p~armacist sign or initial the production record. When other technicians or phannacists assist, and/or work with part ofthe lot at another workstation, that information is not recorded. This does not allow for a complete review ofthe manufacturing process prior to finished product release or during any subsequent investigation. For example •. environmental monitoring data cannot be completely correlated to the all personnel!Wd applicable equipment

OBSERVATION 12

Procedures designed to prevent microbiological contamination ofdrug products putporting to be sterile are not established, written, and followed.

Specifically, A. Procedure 6.02, Microbiological and Environmental Testing/Alert and Action Thresholds and Retest Requirements,

does not ~ire immediate corrective actions for action limit excursions. The area or employee is retested an additionalJIQM and the location is only taken out ofservice ifit fails the retesl There have been at least 55 action reports since 2011, finding bacteria and mold from monitoring ofpersonnel gloves and gowns, and viable air samples. Examples include: . . 1. Bacillus pumilus and Paecilomyces spp .. (mold) ftom an employee glove, sampled on 05/24/11 (action level isII

or more eolony fonning units), result was 3 cfu; ~ested again on 05/31/11 with no ad~itional action taken. 2. Staphylococi;us hominis and Phialophora spp. (mold) from via~le air sample collected at Laminar AirFlow

3Workbench 10 (ISO 5) on 12/29/ll (action level isI cfu perm\ resUlt was 6 cfu per m ; retested again on 01/05/2012 with no additional action taken. ·

3. Bacillus cereus,.Brevibacillus lalerosporu.s, and Aspergillus spp. (mold) .from an employee's gloves and non­sterile gown, respectively, on 06/20/2012 (action level isI ormore and I or more, respectively); results were 6 and 5 cfu (gloves), and 16 cfu (non-sterile gown); the employee was retested again on 06!1.7/12 and 06/28/12, with no additional action taken.

B. Environmental monitoring testing conducted by your firm is inappropriate in that employees sanitize their gloves and non-sterile smock with (b) ( 4 ) before collecting personnel agar test plates.

C. The incubation ofthe enviro~ental monitoring surface contact and personnel agar test plates are incubated incorrectly. AU contact plates were observed jncubated wi1h the agar side down and not inverted, thereby allowing the condensation formed during incubation to possibly interfere with microbial growth.

D. Environmental monitoring is not performed on a frequent basis or during dynamic conditions. 1. Each IS0-5 workstation is not test~ for contact, viable, and non-viable environmental monitoring on a frequent

ba,sis. Environmental monitoring of each workstation is performed every~, at the conclusion of
