OBSERVATION 7
The written stability testing program is not followed.
REPEAT OBSERVATION- FDA 483 dated July 11, 2012
Specifically,
Stability testing is not performed in accordance with FCSOP-0081.08, Stability Testing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Drug Products, effective December 13,2012. Your procedure requires stability testing to commence within\bni) calendar days from the sample pull date, and evaluate each deviation for potential impact.
A. As of April 19,2013, fifty-five (55) drug product and API samples pulled in January 2013 to March 2013 have not had all of the required testing begin within ~~>H•> calendar days from the sample pull date.
B. Stability testing is not performed timely and there is no documentation of an evaluation of each deviation for impact For example:
I. Samples at the ~~>H•I month time point for Stribild lotf(b) (4) were assay on April2, 2013, about ibfl.lJ'days after the sample was pulled on February 8, 2013.
