India Faces Higher QC Costs As Shasun Shows Value Of Compliance

Increased recognition of FDA scrutiny and the cost of quality failures have led to drug manufacturers in India to double spending on compliance over the past 5 years, according to credit rating agency CRISIL. And investors in India are increasingly aware of the value of such investments, Shasun Pharma seeing shares jump 16% this week after they got through an FDA inspection with only one Form 483.



Shasun has fared better than some of its neighbors in regulatory inspections; with the withdrawal of 2,900 bottles ulcer drug ranitidine stomach is manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals is a recognized problem. The company still has been caught in the furor over quality control in India, however. In 2012, some people misinterpret a warning black for one of the products customers Shasun as a warning letter to the manufacturer box, resulting in the CEO having to clarify the situation in a television interview.

This week Shasun experienced investors across twitchiness about FDA warnings when the result of a survey sent its shares down 16%. FDA inspectors visited the plant in Tamil Nadu Shasun last month, pointing out what the company calls "483s minor", but generally considered that the installation complies with GMP. Mexican authorities also inspected the plant and concluded the plant was in full compliance. With everyone alert for the next crisis-like Ranbaxy, the result was seen as positive by Shasun remarkable. Claris Lifesciences also gained 7% after the FDA approved its API plant.

The fate of Ranbaxy and other drugmakers in India has put the focus on quality control and led to greater investment by manufacturers. In a report on the trend, CRISIL concluded training expenditure, compliance departments and preventive structured governance can reduce the likelihood of falling out of favor with the FDA. And the size of the U.S. market makes such investments worthwhile, with sales to the country accounting for 30% of India's pharmaceutical exports.

Compliance With RoHS 2 For Medical Devices

RoHS2 the new directive, Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment, RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) Electrical and adopted by the European Union in May 2011 is intended to replace the RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC). The new directive makes no mention of the new restricted substances, but has, however, a broader scope, affecting the documentation requirements for the performance of many companies.

NEW HEALTH PRODUCTS PRODUCT CATEGORIES

some of the new products include monitoring and control instruments and other non-electrical and electronic equipment of any other category. Although omitted above, physicians and health products In Vitro devices are now also covered by the Directive. RoHS 2 also lists restricted hazardous substances and the maximum permissible concentration in homogeneous materials as follows: Lead (Pb, 0.1%), mercury (Hg, 0.1%), Cadmium (Cd, 0.01%), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI, 0.1%), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB, 0.1%) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs, 0.1%).

AFFECTS HOW MEDICAL DEVICES?

Meets compliance 2 now refer to other medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging equipment (MRI), computed tomography machines, equipment and X-ray July 22, 2014 is the deadline for MRI equipment machines and CT scan to demonstrate compliance with the RoHS legislation, whereas in vitro doctors and equipment chain reaction (PCR) have a time frame for compliance extended until July 22, 2017. Products implantable medical assets are not covered by RoHS standards 2 and spare parts that are already on the market before the deadlines mentioned above are excluded from compliance with the Directive.

WHAT ARE THE OBLIGATIONS OF MANUFACTURERS?

The new directive includes some changes to the legal requirements that have a direct impact on the responsibilities of manufacturers, requiring them to:

•     Release a signed Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
•     Technical documentation produce one record according to EN 50581:2012 or equivalent that meets the requirements of module A of Annex II to Decision 768/2008/EC
•     OK test results of material for analysis by the IEC 62321 standard
•     Keep the declaration of conformity and technical documentation file for a period of 10 years after the product has been put on the market
•     Get the CE mark to demonstrate compliance with RoHS Standards 2

The CE marking now plays a dual role. This means that manufacturers are required to certify compliance with RoHS requirements not only as part of the technical documentation, but in the declaration of conformity of the EU. Consequently, the CE marking cannot be applied until the manufacturer can demonstrate compliance with RoHS 2.

In addition, an assessment of compliance, audit results / possible test results from suppliers, the use of standards and statements of compliance providers must also be provided with the technical documentation. This is why companies that were not affected by the scope of the original Directive will now have the difficult responsibility to develop and assemble all the necessary documents and avoid the risk of facing sanctions for non-compliance. The new Directive and the dual role of the brand also hits manufacturers already comply with CE RoHS, as this could involve more tests and documentation.

SGS HEALTH SERVICES CAN HELP

whatever the challenge, the team at SGS medical device is able to provide expert support of RoHS 2 compliance. As part of SGS - the parent company of verification, testing and certification in the world - we specialize in the partial and complete testing of finished products, and provide options for nondestructive testing.
