    Delivery Method:VIA EMAIL WITH READ RECEIPTReference #:320-25-59Product:DrugsRecipient:Mr. Jimmy DuivenvoordenSite ManagerNWL Netherlands Services B.V.Amperestraat 12 Hillegom2181 HBZuid-HollandNetherlandsJimmy.duivenvoorden@newellco.comIssuing Office:Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)United StatesWarning Letter320-25-59April 1, 2025Dear Mr. Duivenvoorden:The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your drug manufacturing facility, NWL Netherlands Services B.V., FEI 3003696942, at Amperestraat 12, Hillegom, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, from October 14 to 18, 2024.This warning letter summarizes significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals. See Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR parts 210 and 211).Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).We reviewed your November 8, 2024 response to our Form FDA 483 in detail and acknowledge receipt of your subsequent correspondence.During our inspection, our investigator observed specific violations including, but not limited to, the following.1. Your firm failed to thoroughly investigate any unexplained discrepancy or failure of a batch or any of its components to meet any of its specifications, whether or not the batch has already been distributed (21 CFR 211.192).Your investigations lacked sufficient root cause determinations, corrective actions and preventive actions (CAPAs), and assessment of all potentially affected batches. For example, you did not adequately investigate repeated out-of-limit (OOL) results for microbial content in your(b)(4)system. You used(b)(4)generated from your(b)(4)system as a major component of drug products. In 2024, you obtained seven OOL events, at least two with results as high as 10,000 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. After the first OOL event, your firm’s response to subsequent OOL events was limited to reviewing(b)(4)system test results from the day before and after, along with relying on finished product test results.You have not shown that you can consistently produce(b)(4)suitable for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. At a minimum, your(b)(4)must meet the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) monograph for(b)(4)with appropriate microbial limits. It is essential that you effectively control, maintain, and monitor the system to ensure it consistently produces(b)(4)suitable for pharmaceutical use.In your response, you indicate that individual investigations with impact assessments will be created when you obtain OOL results. You also indicate that your quality lead will review and document(b)(4)results on a(b)(4)basis. Furthermore, you commit to training your quality team on when to report and escalate an OOL result.Your response is inadequate. It fails to provide a comprehensive retrospective risk assessment into the microbial content of(b)(4)used for production of drug products and evaluate the full scope and impact of OOL results. Furthermore, you do not provide any supporting documentation about the CAPAs that were described, such as updated procedures and training records.In response to this letter, provide:A comprehensive, independent assessment of your overall system for investigating deviations, discrepancies, complaints, out-of-specification results, and failures. Provide a detailed action plan to remediate this system. Your action plan should include, but not be limited to, significant improvements in investigation competencies, scope determination, root cause evaluation, CAPA effectiveness, quality assurance oversight, and written procedures. Address how your firm will ensure all phases of investigations are appropriately conducted.o Include your updated investigation procedures and a clear description of how investigations are initiated, documented, and completed.A detailed risk assessment addressing the potential effects of the observed(b)(4)system failures on the quality of all drug product batches currently in U.S. distribution or within expiry. Specify actions that you will take in response to the risk assessment, such as customer notifications and product recall.2. Your firm failed to test samples of each component for identity and conformity with all appropriate written specifications for purity, strength, and quality. Your firm also failed to validate and establish the reliability of your component supplier’s test analyses at appropriate intervals (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1) and 211.84(d)(2)).Your firm failed to perform identity testing of each component lot used in the production of your over-the-counter drug products, including(b)(4), your active pharmaceutical ingredient. You also relied on the certificates of analysis (COAs) from your suppliers and failed to establish the reliability of each of your component suppliers’ test analyses at appropriate intervals.In your response, you acknowledge the need to update your procedure to require testing of incoming materials, such as(b)(4), for impurities (e.g.,(b)(4)).Your firm’s response is inadequate. You fail to provide a specification for impurities, such as(b)(4), in your incoming materials. Without appropriate testing of components and ingredients, you cannot ensure the quality and safety of your drug products.(b)(4)You manufacture multiple drugs that contain(b)(4). The use of(b)(4)contaminated with(b)(4)has resulted in various lethal poisoning incidents in humans worldwide. See FDA’s guidance document(b)(4).In response to this letter, provide:A comprehensive, independent review of your material system to determine whether all suppliers of components, containers, and closures, are each qualified and the materials are assigned appropriate expiration or retest dates. The review should also determine whether incoming material controls are adequate to prevent use of unsuitable components, containers, and closures.The chemical and microbiological quality control specifications you use to test and release each incoming lot of component for use in manufacturing.A description of how you will test each component lot for conformity with all appropriate specifications for identity, strength, quality, and purity. If you intend to accept any results from your supplier’s COA instead of testing each component lot for strength, quality, and purity, specify how you will robustly establish the reliability of your supplier’s results through initial validation as well as periodic re-validation. In addition, include a commitment to always conduct at least one specific identity test for each incoming component lot.A comprehensive assessment of the risk to drug product quality for the batches manufactured using(b)(4)that did not undergo incoming identity testing that remain within shelf-life in the U.S. market.(b)(4)testing for all(b)(4)drug product batches released and distributed in the United States within expiry.3. Your firm failed to exercise appropriate controls over computer or related systems to assure that only authorized personnel institute changes in master production and control records, or other records (21 CFR 211.68(b)).Your laboratory equipment used to generate analytical data for finished drug product release lacked restricted access and sufficient controls. There was no assurance that your systems had the appropriate controls to prevent data deletion and record modifications. For example, you did not establish unique usernames and passwords, and laboratory staff had administrator rights allowing uncontrolled access to delete or modify high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) files. Furthermore, your firm did not adequately maintain backups of data generated by your laboratory equipment.It is important to maintain strict control over CGMP electronic data to ensure that all additions, deletions, or modifications of information in your electronic records are authorized and appropriately documented. Without complete and accurate records, you cannot ensure your firm makes appropriate batch release, stability, and other decisions that are fundamental to ongoing assurance of drug product quality.In your response, you state that your firm’s quality lead will perform a(b)(4)review of software systems and data to confirm there have been no unauthorized editing or deletion of files. You also indicate that you will create a procedure to identify the required access rights for each job function.Your response is inadequate. Your response fails to provide a comprehensive review of your system for identifying deleted or modified data.In response to this letter, provide:A complete assessment of documentation systems used throughout your manufacturing and laboratory operations to determine where documentation practices are insufficient. Include a detailed CAPA plan that comprehensively remediates your firm’s documentation practices, to ensure you retain attributable, legible, complete, original, accurate, contemporaneous records throughout your operation.A comprehensive, independent assessment of computer system performance and security. Provide a report that identifies vulnerabilities in the design and controls, and a thorough CAPA plan for each of your laboratory computer systems, which addresses the following elements:o A list of all hardware (both standalone and networked) and software used by your laboratory.o Identify and evaluate vulnerabilities in performance and security of all of these computer systems, including but not limited to, their configurations, administrative rights, password controls, audit trails capabilities, and state of implementation for each system, qualification/validation status, deviation history, backup capabilities, network requirements, completeness of data records, suitability of current hardware/software for its intended use(s), change management, and management oversight.o Detail the associated user privileges for each system.o Specify user roles and associated user privileges for all staff levels who have access to the laboratory computer system, and provide organizational affiliations, responsibilities, and titles. Clearly specify all staff who have administrator privileges.o Fully describe how you will ensure segregation of firm personnel involved with laboratory testing from those with administrator rights. For all staff roles that are permitted to have administrative rights, specify the scope and type of privileges.o Assess each system to determine if unique usernames and passwords are used.o Evaluate policies and procedures regarding computers and data governance, with special emphasis on audit trails, prohibiting data deletion, and appropriate modifications of results. Specify how your firm prevents data deletion and undocumented/inappropriate modifications of data. Also describe how you ensure original data and information is always preserved. Provide your procedures for audit trail review.o Provide requirements for data retention and backup for all laboratory systems.Summarize your interim controls to assure reliable performance and security while your CAPA plan is being implemented.CGMP Consultant RecommendedBased upon the nature of the violations we identified at your firm, we strongly recommend engaging a consultant qualified to evaluate your operations as set forth in 21 CFR 211.34 to assist your firm in meeting CGMP requirements. Your use of a consultant does not relieve your firm’s obligation to comply with CGMP. Your firm’s executive management remains responsible for resolving all deficiencies and systemic flaws to ensure ongoing CGMP compliance.ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations that exist at your facility. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations.Correct any violations promptly. FDA may withhold approval of new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer until any violations are completely addressed and we confirm your compliance with CGMP. We may re-inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to any violations.Failure to address any violations may also result in the FDA refusing admission of articles manufactured at NWL Netherlands Services B.V. Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, into the United States under section 801(a)(3) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 381(a)(3). Articles under this authority that appear to be adulterated may be detained or refused admission, in that the methods and controls used in their manufacture do not appear to conform to CGMP within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).This letter notifies you of our findings and provides you an opportunity to address the above deficiencies.

    Product:Biologics、Medical DevicesRecipient:Brian ThomCEOUnited Health Products, Inc.520 Fellowship Road, Suite #D-406Mt. Laurel,NJ08054United States(b)(6)@uhpcorp.comIssuing Office:Center for Devices and Radiological HealthUnited StatesWarning LetterMarch 24, 2025Dear Mr. Thom:This Warning Letter is to inform you of objectionable conditions observed during the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection conducted at United Health Products, Inc. from September 23, 2024, to October 4, 2024, by an investigator from the FDA’s Office of Bioresearch Monitoring Inspectorate (OBMI). This inspection was conducted to determine whether activities and procedures as sponsor in the significant risk clinical study “Efficacy and Safety of HemoStyp as an Adjunct for Management of Secondary Hemostasis in the Operative Setting,” for CelluSTAT Absorbable HemoStat, Premarket Approval (PMA) Application,(b)(4), complied with applicable federal regulations. The CelluSTAT Absorbable Hemostat is a device as that term is defined in section 201(h)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 321(h)(1), because it is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or function of the body. This letter also requests prompt corrective action to address the violations cited and discusses your written response, dated October 25, 2024, to the noted violations.The inspection was conducted under the Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) Program designed to ensure that data and information contained in requests for Investigational Device Exemptions (IDEs), PMA applications, and Premarket Notification submissions are scientifically valid and accurate. Another objective of the program is to ensure that human subjects are protected from undue hazard or risk during the course of scientific investigations.Our review of the inspection report prepared by OBMI revealed serious violations of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 812 - Investigational Device Exemptions and 21 CFR Part 50 - Protection of Human Subjects, which concern requirements prescribed under section 520(g) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360j(g). At the close of the inspection, the FDA investigator presented an inspectional observations Form FDA-483 for your review and discussed the observations listed on the form with you. The deviations noted on Form FDA-483, your written response, and our subsequent review of the inspection report are discussed below:1. Failure to submit an IDE application to FDA and failure to obtain FDA approval prior to beginning an investigation for which FDA’s approval is required [21 CFR 812.20(a)(1) and (2).Sponsors must submit an IDE application to the FDA if the sponsor intends to use a significant risk device in a clinical investigation. In addition, a sponsor may not begin an investigation for which FDA’s approval of an application is required until FDA has approved the application. You did not submit an IDE application to FDA or obtain FDA approval prior to beginning such an investigation.You conducted your study, UHP001, without submission and approval of an IDE application to FDA. The Western Copernicus Group (WCG) Institutional Review Board (IRB) determined that the procedures in the research posed a potential significant risk to subjects and requested documentation of the FDA’s non-significant risk (NSR) determination in multiple communications. You provided to the IRB FDA written feedback for(b)(4)and FDA meeting minutes for(b)(4), which had been modified from the FDA official correspondence by removal of references to future IDE submission and by addition of language that purported to indicate FDA agreement that the study was non-significant risk (NSR). In particular, you provided the transmittal email from FDA along with these meeting minutes, which imply that the meeting minutes that you submitted to the IRB were those provided by FDA to you as the official record. The IRB used this documentation, which misrepresented the FDA risk determination for this study, to support their determination of the regulatory status of the study, and to review and approve this study without FDA oversight.FDA maintains that the study UHP0001 that you have conducted to support(b)(4)as a Class III device is considered a significant risk device clinical investigation for which you should have submitted an IDE application to FDA and obtained FDA approval prior to initiation. Your device is an absorbable hemostat intended to be used as an adjunct to primary hemostasis in surgical procedures to assist in controlling capillary, venous and small arterial hemorrhage when other conventional methods are ineffective or impractical. Absorbable hemostatic agents are intended to be absorbed into the body and are Class III devices per 21 CFR 878.4490. The agency considers such devices to be significant risk devices because they are absorbed internally and present “a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a subject” per 21 CFR 812.3(m). 21 CFR 812.20(a) requires any sponsor who intends to use a significant risk device in an investigation to submit an application to FDA, and to wait to begin the investigation until FDA has approved the application. FDA approval of an IDE application helps to ensure subject safety and that the risks associated with the device and study procedures are minimized.This was conveyed to you in the Form FDA-483, and your response dated October 25, 2024 is inadequate. Your written response includes a discussion of the interactions with FDA regarding this study and describes your misunderstanding of those interactions and of NSR/significant risk studies. It indicates that the meeting minutes for(b)(4)that you had provided to the IRB were your modifications to the minutes received from FDA and that you had informally emailed them to FDA. However, there is no record of your submission of these revised meeting minutes to FDA either by email or with a Meeting Minutes Disagreement amendment, the procedure outlined in FDA’s transmittal email for handling changes to meeting minutes. Importantly, there is also no agreement by FDA on these meeting minutes that you had revised. Your response also does not speak to the modifications that were made to the official FDA correspondence for(b)(4), where you inserted the word “NSR” in describing the name of the study and removed references to a(b)(4). FDA is greatly concerned about your misrepresentation of the FDA’s stance regarding the risk determination of the study to the IRB, which resulted in you inappropriately conducting this study without submitting and obtaining approval of an IDE application from FDA prior to initiation.2. Failure to ensure proper monitoring of the investigation [21 CFR 812.40].Sponsors are responsible for ensuring that a clinical investigation is properly monitored. However, you failed to properly monitor your clinical investigation. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:a. Although you had described in the study protocol, UHP001, sections 10 and 14.9, that details regarding monitoring would be provided in the study specific Monitoring Plan and clinical site monitoring would be documented in a Clinical Monitoring Plan (CMP), respectively, you did not have an effective and implemented CMP during study conduct.b. You did not maintain adequate documentation regarding those monitoring activities that did occur:i. You failed to maintain adequate site initiation visit (SIV) documentation for the two clinical investigation sites. There were several discrepancies in documentation of SIV Monitoring Visit Reports, investigator site’s personnel training logs (SIV Training Logs), and Site Visit Logs. For example, the SIV Monitoring Visit Report for site 01 documented the visit was held on-site on December 17, 2018, with the clinical investigator and research coordinator. However, the SIV Training Log for site 01 documented the clinical investigator received SIV training on December 10, 2018, and the research coordinator received SIV training on March 19, 2019. The Site Visit Log for site 01 documented a single SIV date as December 19, 2018.ii. You failed to maintain adequate interim monitoring documentation for the two clinical investigation sites. For example, the Site Visit Log for site 01 documented the interim monitoring visit was held on-site on July 9, 2019, but there was no interim monitoring report for this visit. In addition, the site visit log for site 02 documented the interim monitoring visit was held on-site on September 10, 2019, but there was no interim monitoring report for this visit.Proper monitoring helps ensure that the safety, rights, and well-being of the subjects are protected, and that the data are complete and accurate. Monitoring should be an on-going program performed with the frequency necessary to ensure that the investigation is conducted according to the investigational plan, FDA regulations, and any conditions of approval required by the FDA or the reviewing IRB. Inadequate monitoring can lead to reporting of inaccurate data, missing data, enrollment of subjects that do not meet eligibility criteria, and poor adverse event reporting, among other concerns. In addition, without adequate monitoring there is no assurance that your study conduct is compliant and that any instances of noncompliance are resolved properly.This was conveyed to you in the Form FDA-483, and your written response dated October 25, 2024 is inadequate. Your response includes a retrospectively-created CMP, new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for clinical monitoring, clinical site selection, and site initiation, and revised Site Visit Logs for both clinical investigation sites. Your response indicates that the retrospectively-created CMP reflects the monitoring practices that were followed during the study conduct and indicates that the updated Site Visit Log added visits that occurred for SIV training for both clinical investigation sites, but were not present on the initial Site Visit Log. You did not provide SIV Monitoring Visit Reports for the additional SIV training conducted for both clinical investigation sites that were added to the Site Visit Logs. You also did not provide the interim monitoring reports for both clinical investigation sites that document the activities that occurred during the interim monitoring visits, nor did you provide the follow-up communication to the investigator/study personnel that discusses visit findings, outstanding action items, and requests for additional information. These items are needed to assess the adequacy of the monitoring conducted for this study.3. Failure to secure clinical investigator’s compliance with the signed agreement, the investigational plan, applicable FDA regulations, and any other conditions of approval imposed by the reviewing IRB or FDA, or if compliance could not be obtained, failure to discontinue shipments of the device to the investigator and terminate the investigator’s participation in the investigation [21 CFR 812.46(a)].As part of monitoring responsibilities, a sponsor is responsible for securing the investigator’s compliance with the investigational plan to ensure adherence with the study protocol and other regulatory requirements. You failed to obtain and secure the clinical investigator’s compliance with the investigational plan and applicable FDA regulations. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:a. Forty (40) subjects had baseline laboratory results indicating thrombocytopenia or no baseline platelet laboratory results. As a result, these subjects met exclusion criterion # 9, which lists subjects with a coagulation disorder, thrombocytopenia, liver disease and anti-thrombin therapy as not eligible for study. You did not ensure that investigators properly enrolled subjects according to the investigational plan.b. According to your Protocol Deviation Log, there were three (3) subjects whose informed consent forms were not signed by the subject, which violates inclusion criterion # 4, as well as 21 CFR 812.100, which requires that investigators obtain informed consent in accordance with 21 CFR Part 50. You did not ensure that investigators obtained informed consent according to the investigational plan and applicable FDA regulations.Securing clinical investigator compliance is a critical component of monitoring and is critical for ensuring the safety and welfare of study subjects. Failure to secure compliance impacts the reliability and quality of the data resulting from the study and in turn adversely impacts FDA’s ability to assess the overall safety and effectiveness of the device. As you failed to conduct proper monitoring, you did not identify that enrollment criteria were violated or that informed consent was not properly obtained, and also did not take steps to secure compliance with these requirements. Having failed to secure the investigator’s compliance, you also did not discontinue shipments of the device to the investigator and terminate the investigator’s participation in the investigation.This was conveyed to you in the Form FDA-483, and your written response dated October 25, 2024 is inadequate. While your response acknowledged the issue of enrolling subjects that did not meet the eligibility criteria related to thrombocytopenia and provided a comprehensive corrective action and preventative action plan, you have not addressed the issue of failing to obtain informed consent. Specifically, you did not provide any root cause analysis regarding the informed consent protocol deviations. You also did not identify any corrective or preventative actions taken to ensure that informed consent is properly obtained by investigators such that human subjects are adequately protected.4. Failure to immediately conduct an evaluation of any unanticipated adverse device effects and failure to report results of such an evaluation to FDA and to all reviewing IRB’s and participating investigators within 10 working days [21 CFR 812.46(b)(1) and 21 CFR 812.150(b)(1)].As a sponsor, you are responsible for conducting an evaluation of any adverse device effects that are reported as serious and unanticipated to ensure adverse events are adequately recorded and reported, and that appropriate follow-up occurs. You failed to conduct these evaluations. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:a. You failed to evaluate the unanticipated adverse device effect (UADE) for subject 02-0074 that occurred on April 30, 2019. Information for this UADE was recorded in an Adverse Event (AE) Form; however, there is no documentation to show that the UADE was evaluated as required by 21 CFR 812.46(b)(1) and study protocol, UHP001, section, 9.8.2.b. You failed to evaluate the UADE for subject 02-0074 that occurred on May 12, 2019. Information for this UADE was recorded in an AE Form; however, there is no documentation to show that the UADE was evaluated as required by 21 CFR 812.46(b)(1) and study protocol, UHP001, section, 9.8.2.Proper evaluation of UADEs, as required by 812.46(b)(1), is a critical step in ensuring the safety and welfare of study subjects. Appropriate review and evaluation of UADEs and their resolution allows for any necessary changes to be made to the investigational plan to protect study participants. Furthermore, the regulations under 812.150(b)(1) require that a sponsor who conducts an evaluation of an unanticipated adverse device effect under 812.46(b) report the results of such evaluation to FDA. Proper evaluation and timely reporting to FDA of the result of any evaluation of a UADE is important for FDA’s assessment of the overall safety profile of the device.This was conveyed to you in the Form FDA-483, and your written response dated October 25, 2024 is inadequate. Your response includes a description that the clinical site did not report these AEs to the sponsor as UADEs, and that they therefore were not handled as UADEs. In addition, you provided an updated SOP (CLN-06 Adverse Event Monitoring) to include UADE reporting requirements. However, these documents do not describe how an AE designated as a UADE by an investigator on the AE paper form is reported to the sponsor. It appears that the designation of an AE as a UADE is not captured in the electronic case report form (eCRF) and therefore these two AEs were not reported to the sponsor as UADEs, despite being identified by the investigator as such. As a result, these two AEs were not properly evaluated to determine whether they met the definition of a UADE, as required by the study protocol, UHP001, sections 9.1 and 9.8. Neither the updated SOP nor the protocol provide adequate detail to prevent a recurrence of this scenario in future studies. In addition, you did not provide source documentation for subject 02-0074 that was obtained according to Section 9.4 of the study protocol, UHP001, to assess the causal relationship between the AE and the investigational device. This documentation is needed to ensure that you have adequately conducted an evaluation of reported AEs as expected in the UHP001 study protocol. Although in this case, these two AEs were ultimately determined not to be UADEs through your postinspection activities, timely investigation of UADEs identified by study investigators while the study is ongoing is required by 21 CFR 812.46(b)(1) and a critical element of good clinical practices and does not appear to be assured by your corrective actions.Finally, section 7.6.1 of your updated SOP provides UADE reporting requirements and suggests that the requirement only applies to IDE studies. The evaluation requirement under 812.46 and reporting requirement under 812.150(b)(1) for UADEs also apply to non-significant risk studies subject to abbreviated requirements per 812.2(b), not just studies being conducted under an IDE. The regulatory requirements should be clarified and corrected in the SOP.5. Failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current device shipment and disposition records [21 CFR 812.140(b)(2)].As a sponsor, you are responsible for maintaining accurate, complete, and current records relating to an investigation. Specifically, records of shipment must include the name and address of the consignee, type and quantity of device, date of shipment, and batch number or code mark, and records of disposition must describe the batch number or code marks of any devices returned to the sponsor, repaired, or disposed of in other ways by the investigator or another person, and the reasons for and method of disposal. You failed to maintain the necessary records. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:a. You failed to maintain records of investigational devices received by a sponsor employee, investigational devices returned to the sponsor, or unused investigational devices disposed of for the(b)(4)investigational device units packaged.b. You failed to maintain accurate device accountability records for both clinical investigation sites. For example, your Master Device Accountability Log documented that there were 230 subjects who received the investigational device in site # 01 and 4 subjects who received the investigational device in site # 02, with zero returned devices. However, there were only a total of 118 subjects randomized to receive the investigational device and the other subjects were assigned to the control group. In addition, the UHP001 Inventory Log for Site # 02 indicated that only 1 device was used, but the Master Device Accountability Log documented that there were 4 devices used.Proper records of device shipment and disposition are necessary for control of devices and to confirm that the investigational device is used only by qualified investigators on subjects appropriately enrolled in the study. If the devices were used by unqualified individuals on patients not enrolled in the study, there would be an increased risk of harm to both the user and patient.This was conveyed to you in the Form FDA-483, and your written response dated October 25, 2024 is inadequate. Your response provided a SOP for investigational device management and a corrected Master Accountability Log. However, you did not provide source documentation of study subjects’ randomization assignment to verify the changes made to the Master Accountability Log and to demonstrate that device usage was appropriate.The violations described above are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of problems that may exist with your clinical study. It is your responsibility as a study sponsor to ensure compliance with the Act and applicable regulations.Within 15 working days of receiving this letter, please provide documentation of the additional corrective and preventative actions that you have taken or will take to correct these violations and to prevent the recurrence of similar violations in current or future studies for which you are the study sponsor. Any submitted corrective action plan must include projected completion dates for each action to be accomplished as well as a plan for monitoring the effectiveness of your corrective actions. Failure to respond to this letter and take appropriate corrective action could result in the FDA taking regulatory action without further notice to you.Your response should reference “CTS#(b)(4)” and be sent via email to: Irfan.Khan@fda.hhs.gov.A copy of this letter has been sent to FDA’s OII BIMO Division 1 via email OIIBIMODivision1Correspondence@fda.hhs.gov.

    Delivery Method:VIA UPSReference #:320-25-71Product:DrugsRecipient:Mr. Phillip A.S. MillerCo-CEOProduct Society LLC13056 Saticoy StreetNorth Hollywood,CA91605United StatesIssuing Office:Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)United StatesWarning Letter320-25-71May 8, 2025Dear Mr. Miller:The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your drug manufacturing facility, Product Society LLC, FEI 3023272193, at 13056 Saticoy Street, North Hollywood, CA 91605, from November 18 to 27, 2024.This warning letter summarizes significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals. See Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR parts 210 and 211).Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).We reviewed your December 20, 2024 response to our Form FDA 483 in detail and acknowledge receipt of your subsequent correspondence.During our inspection, our investigators observed specific violations including, but not limited to, the following.1. Your firm failed to test samples of each component for identity and conformity with all appropriate written specifications for purity strength, and quality. Also, your firm failed to validate and establish the reliability of your component supplier’s test analyses at appropriate intervals (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1) and 211.84(d)(2)).Your firm manufactures over-the-counter (OTC) drugs both for topical and oral use. You failed to adequately test incoming components, such as glycerin, for identity before using them in the manufacture of your drug products. Additionally, you relied on your supplier’s certificates of analysis without establishing the reliability of each of your suppliers’ analyses at appropriate intervals.Identity testing for glycerin and certain other high-risk drug components includes a limit test in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) to ensure that the component meets the relevant safety limits for levels of Diethylene Glycol (DEG) and Ethylene Glycol (EG). Because you did not perform adequate identity testing on a representative sample using the USP identification test, which detects these hazardous impurities, you failed to assure the acceptability of these components for use in manufacture of your drug products.The use of ingredients contaminated with DEG or EG has resulted in various lethal poisoning incidents in humans worldwide. See FDA’s guidance documentTesting of Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Maltitol Solution, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Sorbitol Solution, and Other High-Risk Drug Components for Diethylene Glycol and Ethylene Glycolto help you meet the CGMP requirements when manufacturing drugs containing ingredients at high-risk for DEG or EG contamination at https://www.fda.gov/media/167974/download.Furthermore, your firm used water as a component in your finished drug products. Your water system was not adequately monitored to ensure that it can produce water that meets USP(b)(4)water monograph specifications. Water for pharmaceutical purposes must be suitable for its intended use and routinely tested to ensure ongoing conformance with appropriate chemical and microbiological attributes.In response to this letter, provide:A commitment to provide DEG and EG test results, no later than 30 calendar days from the date of this letter, from testing retains for all lots of high-risk drug components used in the manufacture of drug products. Alternatively, if a retain of a component lot is unavailable, perform retain sample testing of all implicated finished drug product batches for the presence of DEG and EG.A full risk assessment for drug products that are within expiry which contain any ingredient at risk for DEG or EG contamination (including, but not limited to, glycerin). Take prompt and appropriate actions to determine the safety of all lots of the component(s) and any related drug product that could contain DEG or EG, including customer notifications and product recalls for any contaminated lots. Identify additional appropriate corrective action and preventive action that secure supply chains in the future, including, but not limited to, ensuring that all incoming raw material lots are from fully qualified manufacturers and free from unsafe impurities. Detail these actions in your response to this letter.A thorough remediation plan to install and operate a suitable water system to produce water adhering to(b)(4)Water, USP monograph specifications and appropriate microbial limits.2. Your firm failed to establish adequate written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the drug products manufactured have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess (21 CFR 211.100(a)).Your firm failed to validate your manufacturing processes for your OTC drug products (e.g.,(b)(4), and(b)(4)). You are responsible for assuring your manufacturing processes will consistently result in drug products meeting predefined quality attributes.Process validation evaluates the soundness of design and state of control of a process throughout its lifecycle. Each significant stage of a manufacturing process must be designed appropriately and assure the quality of raw material inputs, in-process materials, and finished drugs.Successful process qualification studies are necessary before commercial distribution. Thereafter, ongoing vigilant oversight of process performance and product quality is necessary to ensure you maintain a stable manufacturing operation throughout the product lifecycle.See FDA’s guidance document, Process Validation: General Principles and Practices for general principles and approaches that FDA considers appropriate elements of process validation, at https://www.fda.gov/media/71021/download.3. Your firm’s quality control unit failed to exercise its responsibility to ensure drug products manufactured are in compliance with CGMP, and meet established specifications for identity, strength, quality, and purity (21 CFR 211.22).Your quality unit (QU) lacked adequate control over your OTC drug product manufacturing operations and failed to ensure that you had adequate procedures. For example, your QU failed to ensure:Establishment of an adequate ongoing stability program (21 CFR 211.166(a)).Performance of periodic (i.e., at least annual) product reviews (21 CFR 211.180(e)).Use of adequate laboratory control mechanisms (e.g., calibrated equipment) (21 CFR 211.160(a)).Your firm’s quality systems are inadequate.

    Delivery Method:VIA EMAIL WITH READ RECEIPTReference #:320-25-61Product:DrugsRecipient:Mr. Chongjiu LiGeneral ManagerWuxi Medical Instrument Factory Co., Ltd.No.43 Xixin Road, Zhangjing, Xibei TownWuxi ShiJiangsu Sheng,214194ChinaIssuing Office:Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)United StatesWarning Letter320-25-61April 4, 2025Dear Mr. Li:The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your drug manufacturing facility, Wuxi Medical Instrument Factory Co., Ltd., FEI 3006851654, located at No. 43 Xixin Road, Zhangjing, Xibei Town, Wuxi, from November 11 to 15, 2024.Because your drug products were prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions, whereby they may have become contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health, your drug products are also adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(A) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(A).This warning letter summarizes significant violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals. See Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR parts 210 and 211).Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).Inadequate ResponseWe reviewed your December 5, 2024 response to our Form FDA 483 in detail. Your response is inadequate because you fail to provide adequate evidence of corrective actions taken to bring your operations into compliance with CGMP or confidence that you can manufacture sterile drugs. Your response notes that your “…company does not have the ability to pass FDA factory inspection and was not prepared to produce sterilized(b)(4)in accordance with the requirements of OCT [sic] Drug product so it does not produce sterilized(b)(4), nor carry out the testing of sterility testing.” Drug manufacturers labeling their product as sterile must recognize the serious public health implications of distributing a non-sterile product, as it poses a significant health risk to patients.During our inspection, our investigators observed specific violations including, but not limited to, the following.Insanitary ConditionsYour drug products are adulterated under section 501(a)(2)(A) of the FD&C Act because they were prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby drugs may become contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health. FDA investigators observed your facility to be in a state of disrepair, poorly cleaned, and maintained as evidenced by:Numerous dead insects were inside the tubing used to transfer the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API),(b)(4), from storage drums to(b)(4)tanks, as well as a(b)(4)used for storing API transfer hoses and(b)(4).Multiple pieces of unknown debris in an(b)(4)solution that was being(b)(4)to a filling machine and transferred(b)(4)that were packaged and labelled as sterile.Multiple pieces of tubing used to transfer(b)(4)solution from holding containers to filling machines were cracked, leaking, discolored, or contained unidentified residues.Bulk(b)(4)of(b)(4)used to make(b)(4)had hair, unknown particulates, or insects on them.The ceiling areas above uncovered filling and packaging machines used to manufacture(b)(4)labelled as sterile were visibly dirty and damaged.CGMP Violations1. Your firm failed to establish and follow appropriate written procedures that are designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be sterile, and that include validation of all sterilization processes (21 CFR 211.113(b)).In addition to the insanitary conditions described above, FDA investigators observed during the inspection that since the previous inspection, your firm discontinued sterilization via(b)(4)without implementing a new sterilization procedure. Furthermore, your firm lacked a procedure for conducting environmental monitoring during manufacturing operations and failed to ensure operators adhered to proper gowning requirements, thereby compromising the sterility assurance of(b)(4)labeled as sterile.See FDA’s guidance document,Sterile Drug Products Produced by Aseptic Processing—Current Good Manufacturing Practice, to help you meet the CGMP requirements when manufacturing sterile drugs using aseptic processing, at https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/Guidances/ucm070342.pdf.In response to this letter, provide:Comprehensive, independent risk assessment of all contamination hazards with respect to your aseptic processes, equipment, and facilities, that includes, but is not limited to:o All human interactions within the ISO 5 areao Equipment placement and ergonomicso Air quality in the ISO 5 area and surrounding roomo Facility layouto Personnel Flows and Material Flows (throughout all rooms used to conduct and support sterile operations)A detailed remediation plan with timelines to address the findings of the contamination hazards risk assessment. Describe specific tangible improvements to be made in the design and control of the aseptic processing operation.Your plan to ensure appropriate aseptic practices and cleanroom behavior during production. Include steps to ensure routine and effective supervisory oversight for all production batches. Also describe the frequency of quality unit oversight (e.g., audit) during aseptic processing and its support-operations.A thorough retrospective review and risk assessment that evaluates how poor aseptic technique and cleanroom behavior may have affected the quality and sterility of your drugs.A robust sterilization method and rigorous validation protocol that assures a sterility assurance level of 10-6 or more is achieved (e.g., provide F-value and Z-value data for any heat sterilization method), and uses an appropriate resistant biological indicator that represents the worst-case resistance of microbes that could be found in your environment and product. Include D-value determinations for each biological indicator lot to demonstrate its resistance to the specific sterilization method proposed for use by your firm.2. Your firm failed to conduct appropriate laboratory testing to determine whether each batch of drug product purporting to be sterile and pyrogen-free conforms to such requirements (21 CFR 211.167(a)).You manufactured and distributed an(b)(4)product labeled as "sterile." However, you failed to perform sterility testing. It is essential that you conduct sterility testing on these and other purportedly sterile drugs prior to batch disposition decisions.In response to this letter, provide a list of chemical and microbial test methods and specifications used to analyze each batch of your drug product before making a batch disposition decision, and the associated written procedures.3. Your firm failed to test samples of each component for identity and conformity with all appropriate written specifications for purity, strength, and quality. Your firm also failed to validate and establish the reliability of your component supplier’s test analyses at appropriate intervals (21 CFR 211.84(d)(1) and 211.84(d)(2)).Your firm relied solely on certificates of analysis (COAs) for incoming lots of(b)(4), instead of conducting identity testing and verification for purity, strength, and quality or qualifying your component supplier. Additionally, your firm failed to test the(b)(4)system for(b)(4)and microbial limits, despite its use in drug production. Without adequate testing, there is no assurance that these critical components meet required specifications before use in manufacturing. The failure to perform appropriate identity and testing raises concerns about product quality and associated potential risks to patients.In response to this letter, provide:The chemical and microbiological quality control specifications you use to test and release each incoming lot of components for use in manufacturing.A description of how you will test each component lot for conformity with all appropriate specifications for identity, strength, quality, and purity. If you intend to accept any results from your supplier’s COA instead of testing each component lot for strength, quality, and purity, specify how you will robustly establish the reliability of your supplier’s results through initial validation as well as periodic re-validation. In addition, include a commitment to always conduct at least one specific identity test for each incoming component lot.A summary of results obtained from testing all components to evaluate the reliability of the COA from each component manufacturer. Include your SOP that describes this COA validation program.4. Your firm failed to establish and follow an adequate written testing program designed to assess the stability characteristics of drug products and to use results of stability testing to determine appropriate storage conditions and expiration dates (21 CFR 211.166(a)).Your firm assigned a(b)(4)expiration date to your sterile(b)(4)despite having only(b)(4)of stability data. Additionally, your firm's procedure did not address ongoing stability testing to monitor your drug’s integrity throughout its shelf life. Without sufficient data, there is no assurance that your drug product maintains its identity, strength, quality, and purity for the full labeled expiration period.In response to this letter, provide:A comprehensive, independent assessment and corrective action and preventive action (CAPA) plan to ensure the adequacy of your stability program. Your remediated program should include, but not be limited to:o Stability indicating methods.o Stability studies for each drug product in its marketed container-closure system before distribution is permitted.o An ongoing program in which representative batches of each product are added each year to the program to determine if the shelf-life claim remains valid.o Detailed definition of the specific attributes to be tested at each station (timepoint).All procedures that describe these and other elements of your remediated stability program.Drug RecallOn January 21, 2025, the FDA held a teleconference with you recommending you consider removing any batches of sterile(b)(4)currently in distribution from the U.S. market.On February 11, 2025, you issued a voluntary recall of sterile(b)(4)due to a lack of sterility assurance and CGMP violations observed during an inspection.Quality SystemsYour firm’s quality systems are inadequate. See FDA’s guidance documentQuality Systems Approach to Pharmaceutical CGMP Regulationsfor help implementing quality systems and risk management approaches to meet the requirements of CGMP regulations 21 CFR, parts 210 and 211 at https://www.fda.gov/media/71023/download.CGMP Consultant RecommendedBased upon the nature of the violations we identified at your firm, you should engage a consultant qualified as set forth in 21 CFR 211.34 to evaluate your operations and to assist your firm in meeting CGMP requirements if your firm intends to resume manufacturing drugs for the U.S. market. The qualified consultant should also perform a comprehensive six-system audit of your entire operation for CGMP compliance and evaluate the completion and efficacy of your CAPAs before you pursue resolution of your firm’s compliance status with FDA.Your use of a consultant does not relieve your firm’s obligation to comply with CGMP. Your firm’s executive management remains responsible for resolving all deficiencies and systemic flaws to ensure ongoing CGMP compliance.ConclusionThe violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations that exist at your facility in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations.FDA placed products offered for import into the United States from your firm on Import Alert 66-40 on January 21, 2025.Correct any violations promptly. FDA may withhold approval of new applications or supplements listing your firm as a drug manufacturer until any violations are completely addressed and we confirm your compliance with CGMP. We may re-inspect to verify that you have completed corrective actions to any violations.Failure to address any violations may also result in the FDA continuing to refuse admission of articles manufactured at Wuxi Medical Instrument Factory Co., Ltd., Wuxi, China, into the United States under section 801(a)(3) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 381(a)(3). Articles under this authority that appear to be adulterated may be detained or refused admission, in that the methods and controls used in their manufacture do not appear to conform to CGMP within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B).This letter notifies you of our findings and provides you an opportunity to address the above deficiencies. After you receive this letter, respond to this office in writing within 15 working days. Specify what you have done to address any violations and to prevent their recurrence.

  • NeuroSync, Inc.(CMS # 705489)

    Delivery Method:VIA Electronic MailProduct:Medical DevicesRecipient:Gary GregoryPresident & CEONeuroSync, Inc.118 Washington St, Ste 14Holliston,MA01746United States(b)(6), (b)(7)(C)Issuing Office:Center for Devices and Radiological HealthUnited StatesWARNING LETTERCMS # 705489May 9, 2025Dear Mr. Gregory:During an inspection of your firm located in Holliston, MA, on January 6, 2025, through February 5, 2025, an investigator from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that your firm manufactures EYE-SYNC, consisting of a virtual reality headset and tablet computer which performs eye assessments. Under section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 321(h), these products are devices because they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or any function of the body.This inspection revealed that these devices are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(h) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(h), in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, packing, storage, or installation are not in conformity with the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the Quality System regulation found at Title 21,Code of Federal Regulations(CFR), Part 820.We received your response, dated February 27, 2025, concerning our investigator’s observations noted on the Form FDA 483 (FDA 483), List of Inspectional Observations, that was issued to your firm. These violations include, but are not limited to, the following:1. Failure to establish and maintain procedures to control the design of the device in order to ensure that specified design requirements are met, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(a). Specifically:a. You failed to verify your device design to confirm that the design output meets the design input requirements, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(f). You did not implement your Design Controls, Software Design, Development and Maintenance Procedure, Section 6.4, which requires that “(b)(4).” For example:i. Your EYE-SYNC Design Input Requirements, DIR-10101, Rev 007, includes a design requirement related to tracking performance accuracy that states, “(b)(4).” However, your TR-10332 Eye Tracking Performance Test Result –(b)(4), identifies that the average accuracy was(b)(4), and the test report was approved on August 16, 2021, even though this requirement was not met.ii. Your EYE-SYNC Software Requirements Specification, SRS-10102, states, “If the data quality is low the users will be warned. If the data quality is insufficient, the users are alerted, and the analysis result score is not offered to the user for the given assessment.” However, you did not have any testing to verify that low quality data results in a warning to the user, and that insufficient data quality does not present a score.b. You failed to identify, document, validate or where appropriate verify, review, and approve of design changes before their implementation, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(i). You did not implement your Design Controls, Software Design, Development and Maintenance Procedure, Section 6.7.iii, which requires that “Changes are identified, documented, validated or where appropriate verified, reviewed, and approved prior to the implementation of the change.” For example:i. ECO 24-0033 released EYE-SYNC tablet software version 1.2.9_25_1234 to correct an issue which allowed the device to continue collecting data in the event the headset is removed, potentially resulting in the incorrect color of the data quality indicator. However, associated software testing in TR-10139, Rev 34 did not verify that version 1.2.9_25_1234 corrected this issue.c. You failed to establish design inputs to ensure that the design requirements relating to a device are appropriate and address the intended use of the device, including the needs of the user and patient, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(c). You did not implement your Design Controls, Software Design, Development and Maintenance Procedure, Section 6.2 Requirements, which explain that design inputs “…(b)(4).”For example:i. EYE-SYNC Design Input Requirements, DIR-10101, Rev 007, lists requirements that are not related to the current device. For example, requirement C2.3, Latch Fit, states “(b)(4),” and requirement C4.2 states “Device shall have USB(b)(4)of similar form factor to Eye Tracker Unit (ETU).” Both of these requirements are outdated and refer to Model X02 of EYE-SYNC, which was replaced by model X03 in April 2021.d. You failed to validate your device design to ensure that devices conform to defined user needs and intended uses, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(g). For example,i. Your Risk Management Procedure, SOP-10011, Rev 002, states that the level of risk is determined by Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) and that the design(b)(4)will use the severity and occurrence rating scales described in the procedure. However, your software(b)(4), RA-10110, Rev 006, does not use RPNs, and the impact and probability scale used to calculate inherent and residual risk are not adequately defined within SOP-10011.We reviewed your firm response dated February 27, 2025, and concluded that it is not adequate. We understand that you opened several CAPAs to identify necessary updates to your design control processes; however, your response does not provide sufficient detail to ensure that these failures will not recur and that your current devices meet all your design control requirements. For example, your CAPA 202502053 for design change indicates that Test Reports and ECOs issued from February 4-19, 2025, will be reviewed but does not explain why older reports are not being reviewed.Our review also noted that the EYE-SYNC system, as released to users beginning April 2021, uses either the(b)(4)or(b)(4)as the eye tracking unit of the EYE-SYNC. We encourage you to perform a thorough review of your current design to ensure any changes made to the EYE-SYNC after FDA clearances have been reviewed properly. For example, for the above hardware design change, we would expect your firm to have documentation of the appropriate verification, review, and approval of design changes before their implementation. In response to this Warning Letter, please provide a timeline of when all proposed corrective actions to your design control processes will be completed, including when you will complete a review of your current device to ensure all specified design requirements are met.2. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action, including implementing and recording changes in methods and procedures needed to correct and prevent identified quality problems, as required by 21 CFR 820.100(a)(5). For example, CAPA 202110081 was opened on October 8, 2021, to address higher than expected assessment scores. The CAPA included a corrective action that stated, “To correct the core non-conformity, the raw data capture implementation of the eye tracker software must be updated to appropriately capture head and eye position data to accurately reflect scores within the typical range.” During the inspection, your firm indicated that a software correction to the eye tracker software had not been made.We reviewed your firm response dated February 27, 2025, and concluded that it is not adequate. You have not provided documentation to demonstrate that you have completed a corrective action for the above CAPA.3. Failure to establish and maintain procedures to ensure that all purchased or otherwise received product and services conform to specified requirements, as required by 21 CFR 820.50. You have not implemented your Supplier Management Procedure, SOP-10025, Rev 004. Specifically:a. Your vendor who manufactures the EYE-SYNC’s Eye Tracker, p/n P-10114, has not been evaluated since March 15, 2022, despite your Supplier Management Procedure and Supplier Status Form, F-10093, identifying that the supplier requires(b)(4)performance evaluations.b. Your software vendor who supplies the sensor which is placed in the Eye Tracker is not listed on your firm's Approved Supplier List and has not been approved or evaluated as per your procedure.We reviewed your firm response dated February 27, 2025, and concluded that it is not adequate. You have not provided documentation that the above vendors have successfully completed evaluations as per your procedures.4. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for acceptance activities. Acceptance activities include inspections, tests, or other verification activities, as required by 21 CFR 820.80(a). For example, your firm’s Release for Shipment Procedure, SOP-10029, Rev 003, describes the activities needed to release a finished device, which include "visual inspection of product to ascertain that all specified operations are completed and to detect any visible quality problems.” During the inspection, you confirmed the employee tasked with finished device inspection works(b)(4)and does not review test reports or perform a visual inspection as required by your procedure.We reviewed your firm response dated February 27, 2025, and concluded that it is not adequate. You have not provided documentation to show that your corrective actions have been implemented to ensure visual inspection requirements are currently being performed as required by your procedure.Our inspection also revealed that your firm’s EYE‐SYNC Eye Tracker devices are misbranded under section 502(t)(2) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(t)(2), in that your firm failed or refused to furnish material or information respecting the device that is required by or under section 519 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360i, and 21 CFR Part 806 – Medical Devices; Reports of Corrections and Removals. Violations include, but are not limited to, the following:Failure to submit any report required within 10 working days of initiating a correction or removal, as required by 21 CFR 806.10. For example, on or about September 19, 2023, your firm replaced/removed Pico 2 components of EYE‐SYNC devices. The devices would stall or freeze, resulting in a delay of diagnostic procedure or inability to assess a patient. CDRH’s risk assessment concluded the devices failing to perform as intended may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences. This action meets the definition of a medical device correction or removal initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the device, for which you are required to submit a Report of Correction or Removal to FDA. You did not submit a Medical Device Report of Correction or Removal to FDA for this action.Your firm’s response to Observation 12 of the FDA‐483, dated February 27, 2025, is not adequate. You have not submitted Reports of Correction or Removal to FDA as of this date.Our inspection revealed that your devices are also misbranded within the meaning of section 502(c) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(c), because a word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of section 519 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360i, to appear on the label or labeling of the devices was not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices, in the labeling) and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use. In particular, 21 CFR 801.20(a) – which was promulgated under authority of section 519 of the Act, among other provisions – requires, with exceptions not relevant here, that the label and device package of every medical device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) that meets the requirements of 21 CFR Part 801, subpart B, and 21 CFR Part 830. The labels of the EYE-SYNC Model X03 devices do not bear such a UDI.Specifically, the labels for EYE-SYNC Model X03 do not include a device identifier within the meaning of 21 CFR 801.3 or 830.3, and there is no UDI presented in easily readable plain-text on the label of EYE-SYNC Model X03 (see 21 CFR 801.40(a)(1)), and there is no UDI presented in machine-readable form that uses(b)(4)technology on the label of EYE-SYNC X03 (see 21 CFR 801.40(a)(2)).Your response dated February 27, 2025, is not adequate. Your firm promised to obtain mock-ups of revised labeling for review by March 27, 2025, and to obtain UDIs for issuing agency(b)(4), update procedures to include them, and submit GUDID entries. However, you have not provided revised labels as evidence that your labels will include valid UDIs as of this date.Your firm should take prompt action to address any violations identified in this letter. Failure to adequately address this matter may result in regulatory action being initiated by the FDA without further notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, seizure, injunction, and civil money penalties.Other federal agencies may take your compliance with the FD&C Act and its implementing regulations into account when considering the award of federal contracts. Additionally, should FDA determine that you have Quality System regulation violations that are reasonably related to premarket approval applications for Class III devices, such devices will not be approved until the violations have been addressed. Should FDA determine that your devices or facilities do not meet the requirements of the Act, requests for Certificates to Foreign Governments (CFG) may not be granted.Please notify this office in writing within fifteen business days from the date you receive this letter of the specific steps your firm has taken to address the noted violations, as well as an explanation of how your firm plans to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again. Include documentation of the corrections and/or corrective actions (which must address systemic problems) that your firm has taken. If your firm’s planned corrections and/or corrective actions will occur over time, please include a timetable for implementation of those activities. If corrections and/or corrective actions cannot be completed within fifteen business days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which these activities will be completed. Your firm’s response should be comprehensive and address any violations included in this Warning Letter. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration as part of your response.Your firm’s response should be sent via email to Gina Brackett, Establishment Assessment Team 1 (EAT-1) Assistant Director at CDRHEnforcement@fda.hhs.gov. Refer toCMS case #705489when replying. If you have any questions about the contents of this letter, please contact: Karen Archdeacon, Compliance Officer, at karen.archdeacon@fda.hhs.gov.Finally, you should know that this letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations at your firm’s facility. It is your firm’s responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations administered by FDA. The specific violations noted in this letter and in the Inspectional Observations, FDA 483, issued at the close of the inspection may be symptomatic of serious problems in your firm’s manufacturing and quality management systems. Your firm should investigate and determine the causes of any violations and take prompt actions to address any violations and bring the products into compliance.Sincerely,/S/Matthew G.

Levesque:During an inspection of your firm located in Middletown, CT, from January 14, 2025, through February 18, 2025, an investigator from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that your firm contract manufactures Class I and II ophthalmic surgical devices such as sterile I-PACK injection kits, punctum plugs, and microkeratome blades. Under section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 321(h), these products are devices because they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or any function of the body.This inspection revealed that these devices are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(h) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(h), in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, packing, storage, or installation are not in conformity with the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the Quality System regulation found at Title 21,Code of Federal Regulations(CFR), Part 820.We received a response from Rick Brinsmade, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs (QA/RA) Manager, dated March 4, 2025 concerning our investigator’s observations noted on the Form FDA 483 (FDA 483), List of Inspectional Observations, that was issued to your firm. We address this response below, in relation to each of the noted violations. These violations include, but are not limited to, the following:1. Failure to establish and maintain procedures for finished device acceptance to ensure that each production run, lot, or batch of finished devices meets acceptance criteria, as required by 21 CFR 820.80(d).Specifically, you failed to implement section 6.13 of your “Sterilization Process Control” procedure (QA-0041; Rev 3; Effective: 1/27/23) which requires release of sterile products to inventory via Form 0070 once accompanying dosimetry records and certificates of processing (COPs) are received back from the contract sterilizer. For example, you stated that Form 0070 was never utilized to release(b)(4)boxes of I-PACK injection kits (Lot #: P62764979R, P63044983R, P62764965R and P62764970R) into inventory because you fabricated the(b)(4)sterilization COPs ((b)(4)and(b)(4)) as if they originated from the customer-approved contract sterilizer. Subsequently, on 03/21/24, your Director of Quality Assurance released the above nonconforming lots of I-PACK injection kits, which are intended for administration of intravitreal injections during eye surgery, as sterile to your customer on 3/12/24 despite never shipping these products to the customer-approved contract sterilizer (or elsewhere) for sterilization. This event resulted in a Class II recall RES 94794 initiated by your firm on 6/5/24 followed up by a Class I recall by your customer on(b)(4)under RES(b)(4).The adequacy of the response dated 3/4/25 cannot be determined at this time. Under CAR # 1288 (2/20/25) opened to address the failure to follow QA-0041, you reference CAR # 1261 (5/31/24) for the root cause which pointed to limited resources, lack of effectiveness of training, storage of product in a non-routine location, and lack of(b)(4)sterilization labels. Corrective actions included notification of the nonconforming lots to your customer upon discovery of the error; replacement of your Director of Quality Assurance with a new Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Manager; addition of(b)(4)exposure indication dots to shipping cartons; update of Form 0070 to include verification of(b)(4)indicator dot color changes; update of QA-0041 to restrict product release to QA, President, or Administrative Assistant; update the training procedure (QA-0019) to include effectiveness tests, including a test for sterilization processes; and retrospective review of sterilization and release documentations to verify accuracy. Under CAR # 1289 (2/20/25) opened to address release of nonconforming product, you also reference the root cause(s) and several of the corrective actions above under CAR # 1261 and note additional completed actions which included the requirement for(b)(4)irradiation exposure dots on shipping cartons and process specifications for your new contract sterilizer in QA-0041; addition of integrity requirements to the document, part number, and data control procedure (QA-0020); and a new code of conduct and ethics procedure (QA-0099) for which all employees completed training. By 6/1/25, you plan to also add irradiation exposure dots to each individual carton of trays and microkeratome blades. Please provide updates on the progress of these corrective actions and corrections, including any supporting evidence.2. Failure to ensure that when the results of a process cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and test, the process shall be validated with a high degree of assurance and approved according to established procedures, as required by 21 CFR 820.75(a).Specifically:a. You failed to implement sections 5.1.2 and 5.2.1 of your “Process Validation” procedure (QA-0063; Effective: 11/8/23) which requires that Operations (with input from Quality) determine “***if re-validation is needed for changes to validation manufacturing processes***” and that Quality “***Reviews and approves the assessments of validation needs and revalidation determinations***,” respectively. For example, you authorized the release of lots(b)(4)on 9/4/24;(b)(4)on 10/14/24; and(b)(4)on 11/19/24, containing medical devices, such as punctum plugs, customized injection trays, microkeratome blades, microkeratome tubing, and ophthalmic convenience kits, for distribution without documented justification for why a revalidation was not required, prior to switching to a new contract sterilizer for(b)(4)sterilization of such devices on 3/19/24.b. You failed to implement sections 1.0 and 2.0 of your “Process Validation” procedure (QA-0063; Effective: 11/8/23) which require validations of processes related to inventory items such as “***a component, material, assembly, packaging, and labeling that is part or will become part of the finished medical device including the finished medical device***.” For example, you did not conduct a validation of the(b)(4)inspection method outlined in section 6.1.2 of the “Seal Inspection” procedure (QA-0042; Effective: 6/30/24) for testing the seal integrity of sterile pouches containing Microkeratome Blades, to ensure that manufacturing employees are able to repeatably and reproducibly able to detect conforming and nonconforming seal pouches with a high degree of assurance as a part of finished device acceptance. These devices are indicated for use during LASIK surgery to shave tissue from sections of the cornea for a lamellar (partial thickness) transplant.The response dated 3/4/25 is not adequate. Under CAR # 1290 (2/20/25) initiated to address release of sterile products prior to conducting a revalidation for the new contract sterilizer, you state that management did not believe that a revalidation was required because the new contract(b)(4)sterilizer was able to sterilize the product with the specified dose mapping and dose audits and bioburden testing continued. In addition, you point out that your newly hired QA/RA manager determined that a retrospective validation was required such that a comprehensive validation was conducted and formally approved on 12/16/24. However, there were no corrective actions identified to address the primary issue which is that you did not follow your procedure to review and approve your decision not to revalidate the sterilization process at the time these products were released for distribution.With regards to the lack of test method validation for the seal integrity inspection, you state that you will write a formal process adoption by analyzing the data outputs from the seal validations by 5/1/25. However, there were no corrective actions identified to review whether any other test methods require process validations to demonstrate that that you are able to consistently detect conforming and nonconforming product with a high degree of assurance. Therefore, please provide a response on how you plan to address the above deficiencies.3. Failure to ensure that sampling plans are written and based on a valid statistical rationale when used, as required by 820.250(b).Specifically, you acknowledged there was no statistical rationale documented for the sampling plan in section 6.1.2 of the “Seal Inspection” procedure (QA-0042; Effective: 6/30/24) to inspect the first(b)(4)pouches for seal integrity.The response dated 3/4/25 is not adequate. Under CAR # 1290 (2/20/25) initiated to address the lack of test method validation for the seal integrity inspection as well as failure to provide statistically supported evidence when sampling, you state that you will write a formal process adoption by analyzing the data outputs from the seal validations by 5/1/25. However, there were no corrective actions identified to address the concerns relating to lack of valid statistical rationale for the sampling plan employed during sealing inspections of sterile pouches. Therefore, please provide a response on how you plan to address the above deficiencies.Your firm should take prompt action to address any violations identified in this letter. Failure to adequately address this matter may result in regulatory action being initiated by the FDA without further notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, seizure, injunction, and civil money penalties.Other federal agencies may take your compliance with the FD&C Act and its implementing regulations into account when considering the award of federal contracts. Additionally, should FDA determine that you have Quality System regulation violations that are reasonably related to premarket approval applications for Class III devices, such devices will not be approved until the violations have been addressed. Should FDA determine that your devices or facilities do not meet the requirements of the Act, requests for Certificates to Foreign Governments (CFG) may not be granted.Please notify this office in writing within fifteen business days from the date you receive this letter of the specific steps your firm has taken to address the noted violations, as well as an explanation of how your firm plans to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again. Include documentation of the corrections and/or corrective actions (which must address systemic problems) that your firm has taken. If your firm’s planned corrections and/or corrective actions will occur over time, please include a timetable for implementation of those activities. If corrections and/or corrective actions cannot be completed within fifteen business days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which these activities will be completed. Your firm’s response should be comprehensive and address any violations included in this Warning Letter. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration as part of your response.Your firm’s response should be sent via email to Gina Brackett, Establishment Assessment Team 1 (EAT-1) Assistant Director at CDRHEnforcement@fda.hhs.gov. Please include in the subject line, “CMS Case # 707614” when replying. If you have any questions about the contents of this letter, please contact: Sargum C. Morgan, Compliance Officer at sargum.morgan@fda.hhs.gov.Finally, you should know that this letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations at your firm’s facility. It is your firm’s responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations administered by FDA. The specific violations noted in this letter and in the Inspectional Observations, FDA 483, issued at the close of the inspection may be symptomatic of serious problems in your firm’s manufacturing and quality management systems. Your firm should investigate and determine the causes of any violations and take prompt actions to address any violations and bring the products into compliance.Sincerely,/S/Matthew G.
