Meeting minutes

JMS Singapore and the 3 clinical sites were inspected.  There were 13 
observations; the response was received from JMS and is under review.

Labeling:

FDA will not allow the sponsor to use their SOLX name in their labeling.  It 
needs NDC #, an AS, and IBT #.  We have all the main labels; all they need to do 
is code in the additive solutions.

------------------------------------(b)(4)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

They will have to address that and CPD RBCs without an additive solution.

----------------------------------------------(b)(4)----------------------------------------------

They would need ----(b)(4)--------------------------------- leukocyte-reduced 
labeling.

They need to add the times to the label (Lore has this in her memo).

Their ISBT labels are completely wrong and we will send them the reference for 
the information.

Ink/Labeling:

There was concern about when the extraction studies were done compared to when 
the bags were exposed to Citrate – the tox study may need to be repeated.

They need an extraction study on the leukocyte filter itself.  CDRH evaluates 
these filters with the proper types of solvents.  We may want to talk to them to 
see what is the proper extraction study for Hemerus to accurately access what 
can leach out of the filter.  They were using water and that is probably not 
going to work.

The compliment assay and inactivated PTT assay were not done correctly.

The sponsor has not done implantation assays.  ISO and USP 88 indicate that the 
bag can be cut into strips and implanted in a rat.  The endpoints are edema, 
among other things, a few days later. 
 -----------------------------------------(b)(4)-----------------------------------------------------------.

The final bag is likely identical to their bag cleared in 2008 via the 510(k) 
pathway.  

Other product issues:

They refer to this as a device throughout their submission, so they need to 
remove this language as this is an NDA.  

IFU had multiple issues.  IFU do not describe a room temperature 8 hour hold RBC 
unit. IFU for clinical studies had instructions for the clinicians to do certain 
things in certain times and this was not in the IFU.  

They do not say how they resolved the kinks in the tubing – which are known to 
cause hemolysis or cell activation.

In the JMS master file, they do not provide the source of the needle.  They did 
not provide a BOM to tell you who they purchase this from, so it is unclear who 
the original suppliers are if they need to change.  They do not list solvents 
used to anneal the filter.  

Is there a push to put the particular type of plastic on the WB container to say 
DEHP or non-DEHP plastic?  Perhaps CDER could address this.  

They have a sample diversion pouch but have not done hemolysis studies for use 
of this pouch.  In the past, we have seen these pouches cause hemolysis.

Does JMS, as the manufacturer of the bag and the anticoagulant, need to be 
listed on the label?  

DMPQ- Sterilization 

DMPQ will put together some questions for an IR about the sterilization cycle 
validations.

Design verification does not fall under DMPQ purview.  Transportation, 
sterilization, and container closure is under our review. 

PNR:
Hemerus wants to call the whole system the The SOLX System.

The name should be listed in this order; the anticoagulant, the additive, and 
then the filter.  

Action Items

1. Concurred, finalized Midcycle memos are due from the entire team by Thursday, 
April 5, 2012.

2. An information request (IR) /advice letter will be sent to Hemerus to include 
letter ready comments from the review memos.

3. An IR from DMPQ will be sent to Hemerus.

4. Hemerus will be given the link to the information for ISBT labels.
