| The U.S-FDA inspected Manufacturer’s drug manufacturing facility. During the inspection, FDA investigators determined the firm is a manufacturer of over-the-counter drug products as well as wound dressing medical devices. This warning letter summarizes significant violations of current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals and Quality System (QS) regulations for medical devices. FDA also said:“See Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 210 and 211 (21 CFR parts 210 and 211) and 21 CFR part 820, respectively. Because your methods, facilities, or controls for manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to CGMP, your drug products are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(2)(B). In addition, your firm manufactures the over-the-counter (OTC) drug product “HYPERCARE.” “HYPERCARE is an unapproved new drug in violation of section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). Introduction or delivery for introduction of such product into interstate commerce is prohibited under section 301(d) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d). We reviewed your October 14, 2019, response to our Form FDA 483 in detail and acknowledge receipt of your subsequent correspondence. During our inspection, our investigators observed specific violations including, but not limited to, the following:
|
Quality systems violations noted at the manufacturer of Sonafine Wound Dressing and Venelex Ointment Wound Dressing. Process validation activities weren’t conducted, and procedures weren’t established and maintained to control nonconforming product. Design verification procedures also weren’t established and maintained; for example, stability protocol didn’t support a two-year shelf-life for the Sonafine dressing, and the firm further failed to perform antimicrobial effectiveness testing on the dressing. Procedures for design change weren’t established and maintained; for example, the company modified raw material used in the Sonafine and Venelex dressings without validating the change. Further, the firm failed to ensure that manufacturing equipment met specified requirements. Calibration procedures weren’t established and maintained, and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) procedures didn’t include a requirement for the company to analyze quality data. (The warning letter to the firm, which also makes over-the-counter drug products, also included violations of the FDA’s drug regulations.) Tarmac Products’ response to the FDA-483 was deemed mostly inadequate by the agency. |

| The Akcutest Kit is misbranded under section 502(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(a), because its labeling is false or misleading. FDA registration of a device establishment or assignment of a registration number does notdenote FDA approval of the establishment or the device. Thus, references to an establishment registration that create an impression of official FDA approval of the establishment or its products are misleading and constitute misbranding. See 21 CFR 807.39. The websites reference FDA registration (e.g., “FDA registered”), at times incorporating unauthorized use of the FDA logo, alongside information about and photos of the Akcutest Kit. As displayed, such representations imply that FDA has approved, cleared, authorized, or otherwise evaluated the product. As stated above, FDA has not approved, cleared, or authorized the product. Moreover, the “disclaimer” presented, for example, in small font and placed at the very bottom of your websites stating that “[t]his test has not been reviewed by the FDA” could be easily overlooked and does not mitigate the overall impression that FDA has approved, cleared, authorized, or otherwise evaluated the product. We also note that based on our review of FDA’s Establishment Registration & Device Listing Database, an establishment with or including the name “Ikcon” is not registered and no device by the name of “Akcutest” was listed by any establishment. Therefore, statements indicating “FDA registered” also appear to be false.
The Akcutest Kit and the Lumigenik Kitadulterated under section 501(f)(1)(B) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(f)(1)(B), because the firm does not have approved applications for premarket approval (PMA) in effect pursuant to section 515(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360e(a), or approved applications for an investigational device exemption (IDE) under section 520(g) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360j(g). |
