## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Cadila Healthcare Limited
- Inspection Date: 2017-03-01

This raises concerns about data integrity and the reliability of analytical results used for batch release.

Another critical finding involved the firm's handling of out-of-specification (OOS) results. The investigation into an OOS result for related substances in a stability sample of Esomeprazole Magnesium Delayed-Release Capsules was deemed inadequate.

This indicates a weakness in their OOS investigation procedures and a potential risk of releasing non-conforming products.

Furthermore, the inspection revealed that the firm's procedures for cleaning and maintenance of equipment were deficient. Specifically, the cleaning validation for certain manufacturing equipment was not adequately established or followed, potentially leading to cross-contamination of products.
