Customer Spotlight:
A recent FDA regulation revision has had pharmaceutical
packagers scrambling to fine-tune their process. The regulation
implies changes to the size and content found on inserts,
consequently translating into more complex and time consuming
inspections for pharmaceutical packagers. It is now more
important than ever for pharmaceutical packagers, such
as Catalent, to ensure processes are operating as efficiently
as possible.
“Reading an even larger sheet will take more time
and larger equipment. Our goal is to reduce the time it
takes for verifications in order to increase efficiencies
for both our customers and ourselves,” says Maria
Serra, QA manager for Catalent Puerto Rico.
Being a Global Vision customer for over a decade, Catalent
had already benefitted from Global Vision’s automated
inspection solutions in their production department. However,
they believed that if they could extend this same technology
to all departments in their workflow, they would be able
to increase efficiencies even more—regardless of
the FDA regulation. “Completely automating our process
would allow for quicker verifications, better error detections
and a happier QC staff,” says Serra.
Catalent had installed Scan-TVS, a scanner-based artwork
comparator, on the production floor many years ago. This
enabled them to check the customer proof to the first sample
off the press to ensure that they were the same. If they
could now also implement it in the prepress department
they would be able to support their customers’ efforts
to have a completely proofless process. “The goal
is for us to demonstrate a solid process so that our customers
will trust our QC department enough to give the final
go-ahead before starting the full press run. Thus eliminating
the need for the customer to physically come to the plant
to review and approve the file,” explains Serra.
“Using Digital-Page in our process enabled us
to approve a proof within hours as oppose to days.”
Cutting approval time will come in handy for Catalent
customers that are dealing with product launches that need
to move quickly. “Pfizer has come to see our facility
and are looking to approve us as a proofless supplier,” says
Serra, “which would allow us to make revisions without
hardcopy proofs and consequently help them get their products
to market faster.” Catalent has been extremely happy
with the results from Global Vision and is looking to
extend implementation to other plants across Puerto Rico.

News Brief:
There has been debate as to whether or not to continue
to provide printed package inserts (PI) with prescription
drugs. However, as we are moving into a more technology
centered world, should PIs be moving that way as well?
Keep reading to find out more about both sides of the issue.
In 1998, a committee sanctioned by the Pharmaceutical
Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) tried to replace printed PIs with electronic PIs.
Here
are some of the main reasons why they believe that PIs
should be electronic:
Out
of date info.
The information that
is provided on the PI is always changing and is almost
always out of
date by the time it reaches the pharmacy.
Decrease
in costs.
Eliminating the need for pharmaceutical
manufacturers to print these costly package inserts each
and every time they ship a prescription drug.
Ease
of use.
Claims have been made that electronic PIs
will be easier for health professionals to use.
On the other side of the fence are those vying to keep
the hardcopy PIs, stating that discontinuing them would
be against the best interest of the public for the following
reasons:
Access
to electronic PIs.
There is no way to completely
ensure that everyone will have access to the electronic
formats. What about the elderly? What about power outages?
The right
to choose.
There is plenty of information online
for those that prefer to obtain drug information that way.
In keeping the printed PI, all parties will remain happy.
Responsibility
to the public.
The FDA is responsible
for ensuring that those that dispense prescription drugs
to consumers have all the necessary information pertaining
to proper usage, side effects and cautions. The way they
do that now is through ensuring that each provider receives
printed PIs detailing all this information. If printed
PIs are eliminated, there will be no way for the FDA to
monitor the distribution of this information.
Additional
Issues.
Switching to an environment that deals
strictly with electronic based PIs minimizes the FDA’s
ability to properly monitor validation protocols, equipment
maintenance and backup systems.
Small
costs, big payoffs.
The costs associated with
printing the PIs are minimal relative to the average price
of prescription drugs. Especially when you factor in the
assurance and security that is provided by printed PIs.
As it remains now, for most prescription drugs, there
is no guarantee that consumers will get any information
with the medication that they are given. Printed PIs are
seen as an easy, fool proof way to ensure patient safety
and minimize risks. However, others think that we should
be moving with the times into the world of online PIs.
Whatever the verdict, it is important for Congress and
the FDA to install measures to keep consumers safe, whether
it be through electronic or printed packaging inserts.
