FDA found airflow and aseptic failures on the injectable filling lines. USV told the agency it stopped commercial production on that line for the US market.

What FDA found
- Smoke studies on the ISO 5 vial filling line showed air swirling and moving upward instead of flowing one way over open product.
- Operators reached over sterile equipment during interventions. The line meant to work as a RABS had design gaps.
- A conveyor on the filling line blocked clean airflow to open sterile bottles on their way to filling.
- No action limits for visible particles in injections, and no split between particles from the product and from outside.
