Patient Compliance Packaging Q&A
-
Asked August 5th, 2009
Waste control is the responsibility of the contract packager (converter) as long as it has the product under its control. Waste is handled one of two ways: it is either returned to the customer, or it is destroyed by the contract packager. Tracking the waste subsequent to the batch record close out by net weight is sufficient. The net weight of the container is required to perform the destruction or return the waste to the customer.
You should also already know the tablet quantity in waste, since that number was used during the reconciliation of the tablet or capsule upon the completion of packaging. The tablet quantity is typically calculated by dividing the net weight of the waste product by the average tablet/capsule weight (either determined by the contract packager or provided by the customer). The customer has the batch documentation to show the number of tablets or capsules in waste.
When the contract packager assumes responsibility for the destruction, the net waste weight is provided to the customer for the verification of destruction. If a third party is performing the destruction, certification is required to be received by contract packager with a copy provided to the customer.
