    H.6. INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: ONE (1) SAMPLE WAS PROVIDED TO BD MEDICAL ¿ PHARMACEUTICAL SYSTEM (BDM-PS) FOR ANALYSIS. BDM-PS PERFORMED A BATCH HISTORY RECORD¿S REVIEW (BHR) INCLUDING A REVIEW OF ALL DATA COLLECTED DURING IN PROCESS AND QUALITY INSPECTIONS. THE BATCH INVOLVED IN THIS COMPLAINT MEETS ALL ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVELS (AQL¿S), WAS MANUFACTURED AND RELEASED ACCORDING TO APPLICABLE PROCEDURES AND SPECIFICATIONS. INITIAL EVALUATION OF THE COMPLAINT SAMPLE REVEALED A CRACKED AND BROKEN VIAL RETAINER. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE BROKEN VIAL RETAINER IS MOST LIKELY MATERIAL INCOMPATIBILITY. BREAKING FROM MATERIAL INCOMPATIBILITY IS DUE TO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE POLYCARBONATE OF THE VIAL RETAINER COMPONENT AND DIOCTYL PHTHALATE FOUND IN THE PEN POUCH. CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY OVERVIEW FOR LEXAN POLYCARBONATE RECOMMENDS AGAINST THE USE OF DIOCYTL PHTHALATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH POLYCARBONATE AS IT RESULTS IN FAILURE OR SEVERE DEGRADATION. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO INFORM SANDOZ GMBH OF MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH THE PEN POUCH. PREVENTATIVE ACTION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR SANDOZ TO UPDATE THE PEN POUCH MATERIAL. BASED ON ANALYSIS AND STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN SUMMARIZED IN ¿SANDOZ OMNITROPE® PEN 5 & OMNITROPE® PEN 10 PEN CRACK ROOT CAUSE INVESTIGATION¿ (DATED (B)(6) 2016) ONE POTENTIAL ROOT CAUSE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. 1.BREAKING ON THE VIAL RETAINER FROM MATERIAL INCOMPATIBILITY IS DUE TO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE POLYCARBONATE OF THE PEN COMPONENTS AND DIOCTYL PHTHALATE FOUND IN THE PEN POUCH. SANDOZ HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY ISSUE BY BD. SANDOZ HAS INFORMED BD THAT THE POUCH WILL BE UPDATED BY MIDDLE OF 2019. H3 OTHER TEXT : SEE SECTION H.10
