Observation 1 — Procedures designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting
Procedures designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be sterile did not include adequate validation of the aseptic and sterilization process. Specifically, A. Your firm conducted Airflow Visua li zation (AFV) studies (smoke studies) for ISO 5 Lami nar Flow Hood :t:l (LFH f.l and Laminar Flow Hood ~l (LFH ~l under both static and dynamic conditions in August 20 25 and February 2026. No fo rm al study reports or supporting doc umentation were available for review for either study. The record s lacked the fo llowing critical study elements: the type of smoke sources, the stated study purpose, targeted test locations, and personnel activities performed during dynamic conditions, real-time observations, and conclusions. Although video recordings of the AFV studies were captured, they were not accompanied by written protocols, contemporaneous docum entation, or summary reports sufficient to contextualize, interpret, or substantiate the visual finding s. B. Discrepancies were identified in the Airflow Visualization (AFV) records (videos) for ISO 5 Laminar Flow Hoo d:] (LF 'ttiH•> and Laminar Flow Hood :t:l (LFH :r,f) fr om studies completed in August

D, operators exit and re-enter the ISO 7 cleanroom through the ISO 8 anteroom multiple times during the filling/repackaging operation and place their head/face coverings and goggles into the ISO 5 critical area during the filling process. The absence of head/face cover and google sampling therefore leaves a significant gap in personnel contamination monitoring. II. Personnel sampling for fingertips and gown sleeves is performed only (6) @) , not after completing the first half. The firm's current sampling practice, therefore, does not adequately represent the full fingertip and gown s leeve contamination exposure throughout the filling/repackaging cycle. This practice does not adeq uately represent the fu ll fingertip and gown sleeve contamination exposure throughout the fillin g/repackaging cycle, as the first half of the lot is completed prior to the ISO 8 anteroom exit and is not captured b 15) (4) sampling. iii.

There is a failure to thoroughly review any unexplained discrepancy and the failure of a batch or any of its components to meet any of its specifications whether or not the batch has been already distributed. Specifically, Sterility test failure investigations for aseptically re-packaged Avastin 1.25 mg/0.05 mL were inadequate and failed to identify probable root causes.

Drug product expiration dates are not related to the storage conditions stated on the labeling, as determined by stability studie s. Specifically, Your firm's product labels do not specify required storage temperature conditions, and the assigned rH•>7 beyond-use date (BUD) is not supported by stability testing. For example: your firm has failed to specify required storage temperature conditions on product labels, despite assigning a r ><•>7 beyond-use date (BUD).

What a Form 483 means
A Form FDA 483 is issued at the close of an FDA facility inspection to list conditions an investigator observed that may violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or its implementing regulations. It reflects the investigator's professional judgment at that point in time and is not a final agency determination, an enforcement action, or proof that a violation occurred. Firms are expected to respond in writing, typically within 15 business days, describing the corrective and preventive actions they plan to take. FDA reviews that response, along with any follow-up evidence, before deciding what happens next. Many 483s are resolved through corrective action alone. When FDA judges a firm's response inadequate, or when the underlying conditions are serious enough, the observations documented here can lead to a Warning Letter or further regulatory action. This page presents the observations exactly as recorded on the FDA-issued document; always confirm citation language against the original record before relying on it.
