2. Current Good Manufacturing Practices
• Objective of CGMP
• CGMP facility requirements:
• Laws governing preparation and distribution of existing
product:
• A) CGMP
• B) OTC Human drug
• C) The FDA Recall System
• D)Temper Resistant Packaging
Content

3. CGMP refers to the Current Good Manufacturing
Practice regulations enforced by the FDA.
Adherence to the CGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality,
and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of
medications adequately control manufacturing operations.
CGMP refers to the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations
enforced by the FDA.
CGMPs provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and
control of manufacturing processes and facilities.
CGMP Definition

4. • cGMP regulation assures the Identity, Strength, Quality, and purity of the drug
product.
• The quality of product depends on the starting
material,production,building,equipment and personnel involved.
• In the manufacturing of product to ensure overall control and monitoring.
• Ensure the consumer receives product of specified quality.
• To detect and investigate product quality deviation
• To Obatained appropriate quality raw material
• Maintaining reliable testing laboratories.
• To prevent instances of Contamination, Mix-ups failure and error.

21. The FDA Recall System
Overview
A recall is a method of removing or correcting products that are in violation of laws administered by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA). Recall is a voluntary action that takes place because manufacturers and distributors carry
out their responsibility to protect the public health and well-being from products that present a risk of injury or gross
deception or are otherwise defective. 21 CFR 7 provides guidance so that responsible firms may conduct an effective
recall.
Medical device recalls are usually conducted voluntarily by the manufacturer under 21 CFR 7. In rare instances, where
the manufacturer or importer fails to voluntarily recall a device that is a risk to health, FDA may issue a recall order to
the manufacturer under 21 CFR 810,Medical Device Recall Authority.
21 CFR 810 describes the procedures the FDA will follow in exercising its medical device recall authority under
section 518(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act).
Under 21 CFR 806,Medical Device Correction and Removals, manufacturers and importers are required to make a
report to FDA of any correction or removal of a medical device(s) if the correction or removal was initiated to
reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the Act caused by the device which may
present a risk to health.

22. Definitions
Correction means repair, modification, adjustment, relabeling, destruction, or inspection (including
patient monitoring) of a product without its physical removal to some other location.
Market withdrawal means a firm's removal or correction of a distributed product which involves a
minor violation that would not be subject to legal action by the FDA or which involves no violation, e.g.,
normal stock rotation practices, routine equipment adjustments and repairs, etc.
Recall means a firm's removal or correction of a marketed product that the FDA considers to be in
violation of the laws it administers and against which the agency would initiate legal action, e.g.,
seizure. Recall does not include a market withdrawal or a stock recovery.
Recall strategy means a planned course of action to be taken in conducting a specific recall, which
addresses the depth of recall, need for public warnings, and extent of effectiveness checks for the recall.
Recalling firm means the firm that initiates a recall or, in the case of a Food and Drug
Administration-requested recall, the firm that has primary responsibility for the manufacture and
marketing of the product to be recalled.
Removal means the physical removal of a device from its point of use to some other location for
repair, modification, adjustment, relabeling, destruction, or inspection.

23. Risk to health means (1) A reasonable probability that use of, or exposure to, the product will cause
serious adverse health consequences or death; or
(2) That use of, or exposure to, the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse
health consequences, or an outcome where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is
remote.
Routine servicing means any regularly scheduled maintenance of a device, including the
replacement of parts at the end of their normal life expectancy, e.g., calibration, replacement of
batteries, and responses to normal wear and tear.
Repairs of an unexpected nature, replacement of parts earlier than their normal life expectancy, or
identical repairs or replacements of multiple units of a device are not routine servicing.
Stock recovery means the correction or removal of a device that has not been marketed or that has
not left the direct control of the manufacturer, i.e., the device is located on the premises owned, or
under the control of, the manufacturer, and no portion of the lot, model, code, or other relevant unit
involved in the corrective or removal action has been released for sale or use.

24. Classification
Recalls are classified
into a numerical
designation (I, II, or III)
by the FDA to indicate
the relative degree of
health hazard presented
by the product being
recalled.
Class I - a situation in
which there is a
reasonable probability
that the use of, or
exposure to, a violative
product will cause
serious adverse health
consequences or death.
Class II - a situation in
which use of, or
exposure to, a violative
product may cause
temporary or medically
reversible adverse health
consequences or where
the probability of
serious adverse health
consequences is remote.
Class III - a situation in
which use of, or
exposure to, a violative
product is not likely to
cause adverse health
consequences.

25. On November 5, 1982, regulations were issued in the federal register Concerning the use of tamper resistant packaging
for otc drugs, which included certain human drugs,Cosmetic Products , contact lens solution and solid dosage form.
This was due to the unfortunate poisoning that took place in chicago beginning. on September 30, 1982, and that was
followed by in tempering a the ensuring weeks involving tempering with Tylenol after distribution retail settings. A
temper-resistant package is defined as “one having an indicator or barrier to entry, which it breached or missing
reasonably be expected to provide visible evidence to consumers that tempering has occured“.
Because of the tragedy of 1982, this evidence an OTC products was very important to tablets, capsules, certain liquids
and other Substances that would be detrimental to the public it tempered with.
unfortunately it did not stop and during 1985 further tempering and cases occurred.
Packages considered to be tamper resistant are defined as follows:
 Film wrappers
 Blister or strip packs
 Bubble packs
 Shrinks seal and bands
 Foil,paper or plastic pouches
 Bottle seal
 Tape seal breakable caps
 Sealed tube
 Sealed carton
Tamper-resistant packaging
