OBSERVATION 1
Procedures designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be sterile are not established.
Specifically,
A) Your media fill simulations are not performed under the most stressful and challenging conditions. For example,
l. The media fills dated 4/2/2015 and 4/612015 were conducted with a total ofl vials d~lontrol and!Biest vials). The Ill
lots produced on 5/2612015 consisted ofsyringes and eye droppers which were not evaiuated in the media fills.
2. The media fills dated 4/2/2015 and 4/612015 failed to simulate the set-up process using rmJG)J For example, the £
product "Columbus Quad Opthalmic Compound Opthalmic" (Ketorolac Tromethamine, u"SP"Q.5W;D, t'henylepbrine HCI. USP
2.5%, Tropicamide, USP 1%, Tetracaine HCI, USP 0.5%), lot # 05261503-JDL required the use o~ • •

3. The media fills dated 412/2015 and 4/612015 were not performed under conditions which s imulate actual production.
OBSERVATION 2
Aseptic processing areas are deficient regarding the system for monitoring environmental conditions.
Specifically, your finn's procedures for monitoring th- ISO S LAF hood are not suitable to ensure the quality ofair. For
example,
A) During periods of production, your finD does not conduct viable air monitoring or surface sampling.
C) Your firm has not conducted surface monitoring ofthe pass through window between th- SO 7 rooms.
DATE ISSUED
Each batch of drug product purporting to be sterile is not laboratory tested to determine conformance to such requirements.
SpecificaiJy, s11itability testing for your ~ test used to assess the sterility of finished drug products has not
been perfonned. In addition, negative c~utilized.
OBSERVATION.
Aseptic processing areas are deficient regarding systems for maintaining any equipment used to control the aseptic
conditions.
Specifically,
~ssure differentials are not alanned. In addition, the pressure differentials are checked only at (b) (4 )
B) ln regard to smoke studies, on 6/1120 15, your finn placed a of the . ISO 5 laminar
flow hood an~·--
However, the
study is incomplete in that:
I. Your firm failed to establish a protocol describing the acceptance criteria for the study.
2. 1be smoke study was not performed under dynamic conditions to verify that the operator or activities in the ISO 7
cleanroom do not affect the unidirectional airflow from the HEPA filters in the ISO 5 hood where drug products are
roduced.
OBSERVATION &
Batch production and control records do not include complete information relating to the production and control of each
batch.
Specifically. )Our production records do not include a description of of the production process including
OBSERVATION 6
Batch production and control records do not include complete labeling control records, including specimens or copies ofall
labeling used for each batch ofdrug product produced.
Specifically. the specimens/copies oflabels for the drug products which comprise the Quad Opthalmic Compound have not
been retained.
OBSERVATION 7
Aseptic processing areas are deficient regarding the system for cleaning and disinfecting the room to prodLLce aseptic
conditions.
Specifically,
A) SOP #5.002 entitled. '' l l l cle e Ante Room, Buffer Room, and Clean Room" (Undated) does not include
requirements for the contact time fo • ~ r W)JHdisinfectants. The labeling for the products documents a llmoute
contact time.
C) Your finn does not routinely use a sporicidal agent in the ISO 5 or 7 areas. In addition, SOP #5.002 has no requirements
for the use ofa sporicidal agent.
OBSERVATION 8
Specifically the labels do not include information required by section 503B(a)(lOXA) and (B).
For example, yow· drug product labels do not contain the following:
In addition, the following information is not included on container labels for some drug products you produce:
