Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The black foreign matter within sterile packaging reported may have been due to either variance in improper maintenance of ultrasonic/alcohol black polypropylene drying mats, lack of operator awareness during visual inspection, inconsistency in red zone disinfection frequency, and/or inadequately defined interim product storage/cleaning maintenance for blue and red zone packaging areas compromising product sterility of pouch sealed product.Additionally, a lack of routine training decreased awareness around contamination complaints historically investigated.
