Un fabricant d'API sanctionné...

La FDA a adressé une mise en demeure à un fabricant de principe actif pour des manquements répétés à "l'intégrité des données" chromatographiques : 1. Failure to maintain complete and accurate laboratory test data generated in the course of establishing compliance of your APIs to established specifications and standards. a. There was no written explanation for deletion events observed on audit trails for your standalone HPLC units. Your standard operating procedures (SOPs) did not include instructions for the retention of electronic raw data. In response to this letter, provide your procedures describing requirements to maintain complete data. b. Your laboratory test data did not include records of the integration parameters used for any HPLC analyses. c. There was incomplete raw data to support the test method validation/verification activities for the test methods used for your APIs.  Your response should include new test method validation/verificati

Encore un rappel à l'ordre de l'US FDA...

Dans la gestion des données : 2.       Failure to maintain complete data derived from all laboratory tests conducted to ensure compliance with established specifications and standards.   Your firm failed to prevent raw data from being deleted from the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) used for elemental analysis testing. Specifically, our investigation found laboratory analysts had access to delete and overwrite AAS raw data. This instrument did not have sufficient controls to prevent unauthorized access to, changes to, or omission of data files and folders. This is especially concerning because our inspection uncovered only 38 raw data files on the hard drive of the AAS, while analysts stated that the AAS had been used for over 400 analyses.  Your firm failed to store the raw data elsewhere . Therefore, all AAS testing results for which no raw data exists are in doubt. Your firm’s improper control over the laboratory records raises concerns about the quality of the API
