The FDA highlights uncontrolled sterilization practices as an area of special concern for compounding pharmacies, citing use of non-standard equipment, lack of proper gowning and product handling methods, and failure to use sterilized primary containers and closures to fill sterile products.4 These challenges are not unique to compounding pharmacies; drug manufacturers as well must demonstrate proper sterilization. However, specific challenges for compounding pharmacies result from smaller component quantities, e.g., what is the right test reference sample size if the component batch to be sterilized is relatively small.
West offers a solution with Ready Pack™ containment system, which consists of sterile, ready-to-use (RU) NovaPure® stoppers, Daikyo Crystal Zenith® cyclic olefin polymer vials and Flip-Off® CCS seals. As small-scale, fully-integrated vial containment systems tested for good container closure integrity (CCI) performance, Ready Pack system components work together, but can also be purchased separately. Sterile RU Ompi EZ-fill® vials are also available for customers who need glass. Compounding pharmacies that use Ready Pack components can operate3 with the knowledge that West provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and underwrites the sterility of the components. The risks, as well as the work, around component preparation is are reduced and simplified.5
