All products intended for parenteral administration must be visually inspected for the presence of particulate matter as specified in Injections and Implanted Drug Products 1. Requirements include being essentially free of visible particulates. //-->
Ever since the development of the earliest intravenous therapies, the presence of particulate matter in injectable drug products has been a concern among clinicians. The deadline for comments is the 31 March 2015. The guidance does not cover subvisible particulates or physical defects that products are typically inspected for along with inspection for visible particulates (e.g., container integrity flaws, fill volume, appearance of lyophilized cake/suspension solids).
