Event Description

The customer reported the material of the iva seal 36 mm foil seals for the cefuroxime dose vials caps has deteriorated.The foils cannot be removed from the top of the cap in one piece, as the stripping strip remains in the hand after which it is difficult to get the final foil off the cap.There has been no problem with that foil in the past.

Manufacturer Narrative

There were no samples received with this complaint therefore an examination of the condition reported could not be made.From a root cause analysis perspective, the product is made to self-destruct when being removed from vials.There is a dual warning system in which seals self-destruct upon attempted removal, and needle punctures are highly visible in the laminated foil.This is to make it evident if the seal is tampered with.The slits on the seal help to ensure the product tears.Per the governing procedure for the product if upon peeling the iva seal from the container, there is evidence of the iva seal ripping, tearing, deforming or otherwise unusable.The results of the manufacturing facility investigation determined, based on the description received, the product worked as designed.No corrective or preventative actions are needed.We will continue to trend this issue for future occurrences as part of the complaint review process.
