The following parameters shall be taken into account for an annual product review:

Product Name   

Composition & changes, if any

No. of batches manufactured

Trend analysis of critical quality parameters. (as per Annexure-III)

Quality complaints

Product recall

Returned and Salvaged goods

Non-conformance reports and in-process deviations.

Batch failures at various stages and their investigations.

Changes are made in the formulation process and packaging.

Change of Approved Vendor (as per Annexure-II)

Change in facility/ Equipment

TREND ANALYSIS

Trend analysis shall be done for Raw Materials and for all products manufactured in the last calendar year. Quality characteristics of drug products shall be compiled product-wise and batch-wise considering the following parameters.

Granule Stage: Sieve Analysis, Tapped Density.

Compression Stage: Av. Weight, Hardness, DT (if applicable), Friability, and Uniformity of weight.

Finished Product: Assay, Dissolution, Uniformity of content, Impurity / R.S., and Microbial Evaluation.

The yield of each stage shall be cumulated for review, to ensure that batch yield is within limits. If any deficiencies are observed, their comments/reasons for the same have to be reviewed. The action taken to avoid the recurrence should be highlighted in the Annual Product Quality Review.

The data of stability studies shall also be monitored during the Annual product review. Confirm that Stability data supports the shelf life, storage recommendations, and overages specified in Master Formula Instruction.

Review method validation protocol and reports if any new method of analysis is introduced. Quality characteristics of Raw materials shall be compiled, considering the following parameters: Assay, Impurity/ related substance (if applicable), LOD/Water, Sieve analysis (Particle size), and Bulk density.
