October 17, 2012 | Letter
Excerpt: During initial discussions with committee staff on October 12, 2012, FDA officials said that the NECC responded about a month after the warning letter assuring regulators that the firm was in compliance with good compounding practices. At the time of this briefing, FDA officials could not confirm whether any subsequent inspections were conducted to validate that the FDCA violations were corrected.
October 12, 2012 | Letter
Excerpt: The committee is investigating whether any remedial measures were taken after this inspection and why the NECC was able to continue operating in this manner more than six years after the fact... To assist the committee in better understanding the NECC’s operations, as well any actions taken by the Board of Pharmacy to address potential violations, we ask that you make arrangements with Committee staff to schedule a briefing on these matters to occur no later than October 19, 2012
October 11, 2012 | Letter
Excerpt: We will be meeting with FDA, CDC and others that may provide insight into the details surrounding this outbreak and the prevention of future outbreaks. Given this continued interest, we ask that you preserve all documents and communications that may be relevant to understanding how the product was contaminated and distributed as well as the business practices of the NECC in general.
