Inspection of Injectable Products for Visible Particulates FDA Guidance

About the Webinar
In December 2021, U.S. FDA published a draft guidance on the topic of Inspection of Injectable Products for Visible Particulates. Visible particles in injectable products is a high priority area for FDA due to the potential safety risks. This is also a high compliance risk area for many injectable manufacturers. This presentation will cover the main topics presented in this draft guidance and discuss some of the important nuances with performing visual inspection. The presentation will offer insight into FDA’s recommendation that manufacturers develop and implement a holistic, risk-based approach to visible particulate control that incorporates product development, manufacturing controls, visual inspection techniques, particulate identification, investigation, and corrective actions designed to assess, correct, and prevent the risk of visible particulate contamination.
