Scope2. Instead, specifications are established between suppliers and customers. To this end, USP is also developing General Chapter <1790>, Visual Inspection of Injections. revised version was published in PF 41(6). Pharmaceutical manufacturers can collaborate with packaging suppliers to reduce particulate matter in finished drug products in particular, through use of components with minimized levels of loose, embedded, and adhered particulates.

The meeting Even though the AQL concept allows to make the vague requirement "practically free from particles" statistically comprehensible, there is a fear of GMP obligations being neglected if a batch meets the AQL requirements in spite of anomalies. inspection practices as evidenced by a PDA In 2009, USP established an expert panel, including FDA representation, that took this collective body of information and developed a definition of the minimum requirements necessary to declare a batch of product "essentially free" from visible foreign particles. hand to offer their views, and case studies products and packages limit the ability to inspect for particles when compared to 5.2.

ISPE also suggested that FDA's language on manual visual inspections be aligned with USP's Chapter 790.
