FDA often redacts product names in its letters. Rows marked "FDA label" come from openFDA drug labels that name this site. "Who's in" counts manufacturers of the same molecule in the API-FDF database; names and contacts are inside.

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