The need for a strategy such as Integrated Solutions was confirmed by a survey of the over 300 registrants for West’s recent webinar: Navigating Particle Challenges in Sterile Drugs from Component to Patient. Over half of respondents’ report issues with particles resultant from drug/package incompatibility with vials, cartridges or syringes. Further revealed was lack of uniformity on how measurements of particles are made, what conditions are employed, and whether statistical analysis methods are used. Clearly, customers need the support that Integrated Solutions offers.

Particles is a thrust area for West – having the staff, expertise and facilities to design and execute studies needed regarding particle issues – more specifically being able to accurately determine the type, size, concentration and origin of particles in a drug product container system – in particular particles resulting from drug product interactions. The Integrated Solutions strategy helps to Simplify the Journey™ for customers and helps to reduce risk.
