7
FDA Apheresis Review Checklists

8
Device Manufacturer’s Instructions for Use and Product
Specifications Checklists
Devices that do not allow the calculation of 85% recovery will have specific instructions on a quality control plan to follow.
9
General Content of Submissions
• Form FDA 356h• Detailed Description of Request• SOPs• Records and Forms• Product Quality Control Logs• Labeling • May reference previously approved SOPs,
forms and labeling (include STN)
10
General Submission Content• The detailed description of the request
typically includes:– Products requested for licensure, including
anticoagulants– Collection, processing and testing device(s)
(instrument, filter)– List of facilities requesting product licensure
(address, registration number)– Cell counting method and where the testing will be
performed
11
General Submission Content• SOPs typically submitted include:
– Collection procedures, including arm prep– Donor history forms, including informed consent– Product manufacturing procedures, including QC,
labeling, splitting, leukocyte reduction, storage, shipping, equipment calibration, etc.
– Failure investigation– Quarantine and disposition of unsuitable products
12
General Submission Content
• Records and Forms – we recommend the following:– Product processing, collection information– Product quality control records
13
General Submission Content
• Completed records and forms– Relevant validation protocols and data (Validation
summary only, including failure investigations)– 2 consecutive months quality control data• Red Blood Cells
• Platelets, Pheresis
• Each type of device and each methodology
14
General Submission Content• Product Quality Control Records
– Product description (eg, product name, leukocyte reduced)
– Type of collection (eg, single, double)– Collection and testing dates– Product specifications– Product testing results, including WBC counts,
platelet yields, absolute RBC volume, pH, RBC recovery, product volume, etc.
– Interpretation of each result
15
General Submission Content• Product Quality Control Records (cont.)
– Collection device (manufacturer, model number)– Product identification number– Collection center – Technologist identified– Monthly interpretation– Acceptable criteria– Evidence of QA oversight
16
General Submission Content• Labeling
– Form FDA 2567– Circular of Information– Base label and product overlay labels for each product– 21 CFR 606.121(c)(13) – machine readable information• Unique facility identifier• Lot number relating unit to donor• Product code• ABO/Rh of donor
– ISBT 128 or Codabar– “Apheresis” in product name or attributes (if applicable)
17
General Submission ContentJust remember with labeling:
Leukocytes Removed
Leukocytes Poor
Leukocytes Depleted
Leukocytes Reduced
18
Review Considerations for Whole Blood and Red Blood Cells
• Validation– No recommendations in LR guidance– establish documented evidence which provides a high
degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its pre-determined specifications and quality characteristics
• Monthly QC – 1% of collections for each product type, selected at
random; if less than 400 per month, then 4 of each product type
– 95% meet product standards
19
Review Considerations for Whole Blood and Red Blood Cells
Whole Blood, Leukocytes Reduced and Red Blood Cells, Leukocytes Reduced should be prepared by a method known to:– leave a residual leukocyte count of less than 5.0 x
10e6 per container and – retain a minimum of 85% of the original component
20
Review Considerations for Platelets
• Validation– No recommendations in LR guidance– establish documented evidence which provides a
high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its pre-determined specifications and quality characteristics
21
Review Considerations for Platelets
• Monthly QC – 1% of collections for each product type,
selected at random; if less than 400 per month, then 4 of each product type – 95% meet product standards
22
Review Considerations for Platelets
Platelets, Leukocytes Reduced prepared from Whole Blood should be prepared by a method known to:– leave a residual leukocyte count of less than 8.3 x
10e5 per container and – retain a minimum of 85% of the original component
23
Review Considerations for Platelets, Pheresis
Validation Summary
95%/95% is a statistical approach to demonstrate a 95% confidence that a product or process conforms to a prespecified standard 95% of the time
24
Review Considerations for Platelets, Pheresis
• Validation (continued)– Perform when the automated blood cell separator device or
filtration method is first put into use at an establishment and/or as recommended by the automated blood cell separator device manufacturer.
– Conduct testing on the collection (parent container) and on the individual components from double and triple collections.
– Other as specified by device manufacturer
25
Review Considerations for Platelets, Pheresis
• Monthly quality control (submit 2 months)
– Other as specified by device manufacturer
26
Review Considerations for Red Blood Cells (Apheresis)
• Validation– No recommendations in LR guidance– establish documented evidence which provides a high
degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its pre-determined specifications and quality characteristics
• Monthly QC – 1% of collections for each product type, selected at
random; if less than 400 per month, then 4 of each product type
– 95% meet product standards or repeat QC
27
Review Considerations for Red Blood Cells (Apheresis)
Red Blood Cells, Leukocytes Reduced should be prepared by a method known to:– leave a residual leukocyte count of less than 5.0 x
10e6 per container and – retain a minimum of 85% of the original component
28
Review Considerations for Red Blood Cells (Apheresis)
• Devices that are not able to provide a pre-filtration sample.– Devices have been cleared by FDA with an alternative
method of determining product quality.– Results of alternative methods must still be recorded and
evaluated to ensure that 95% of the products are acceptable.
– Methods include:
• Computer Software (part of collection device)• Minimum absolute Red Blood Cell Volume
29
Helpful Tip
Percent recovery is calculated with an absolute Red Blood Cell volume.
Volume x HCT = absolute RBC volume
30
Summary
• CBER reviews based on:– Regulations and Guidance Documents– Operator’s Manuals and Package Inserts
• Submission typically should include information for substantive review– Consult CBER review checklists– Consult operator’s manuals and package inserts
31
Summary
• Approvals are specific for:– Apheresis instrument– Product collected– Collection facility for apheresis – Manufacturing facility for filtration
