New Rules For Patient Package Inserts
In June, new Food and Drug Administration rules for the format and content of patient package inserts in prescription drugs became effective. The new format emphasizes "highlights" of the label information, provides a table of contents, requires the information to appear in a different order, and sets forth specified graphic requirements. That goes along with a requirement put in place late last year calling for drug makers to submit labeling information in electronic format, for easier searching and cross-referencing. Says the FDA, "These revisions will make it easier for healthcare professionals to access, read, and use prescribing information, and will enhance the safe and effective use of prescription drug products."

Perhaps the most widely recognized combination product is the heart stent. Years ago, physicians inserted a metal stent into a patient's clogged or occluded artery, using a balloon that would expand plaque against the artery walls. "It's a mesh-like metal tube that adheres to the artery wall and stays in position," explains Rolando Gonzalez, manager of pharmaceutical and packaging development for medical device maker Cordis Corp., a Miami Lakes, FL-based Johnson & Johnson company.

What ISO 11607 revisions mean to you
Compliance responsibilities that were clearly outlined in section 4.4 of the current standard have been omitted from the new International Standards Organization (ISO) 11607-01. Therefore, confusion may arise over certain areas of responsibility such as: • Who should test the packaging suppliers' seals? • Who is responsible for validating package sealing equipment? • Who is responsible for evaluating the biocompatibility or other material characteristics such as microbial barrier properties?
