QUESTIONS ON TESTING PROCEDURES

 

III.       MISSING DOCUMENTS

a.      Missing SOP -------b(4)- --------- content by -b(4)-

Under 3.2.R Regional Information there are SOP’s for many of the assays.  One named “QC SOP PS content Hiberix” contains the document titled “Determination of the polysaccharide content in HIB Vaccine by -b(4)-” another one further down the list named “QC SOP    -b(4)- content Hiberix” contains exactly the same SOP.  Should the second one be the SOP for the -b(4)- content by -b(4)-?    

2.            SOP or more detailed description for the Determination of -b(4)-  in Drug Substance
3.             SOP or more detailed description for Determination of -b(4)-                                                ---b(4)-----content by ------b(4)- ---------------- in Drug Substance
4.            SOP or more detailed description for -----b(4)- ----- Content in Drug Substance.

 

IV.    Questions on the SOP “Determination of the -------b(4)- --------- of Haemophilus influenzae type B by -b(4)-”

 

There appear to be a number of translation errors.  The SOP instructions are not clearly written.
