IA #80-04 - REVISED 9/11/97, IMPORT ALERT #80-04, "SURVEILLANCE AND DETENTION
WITHOUT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF SURGEON'S AND OR PATIENT EXAMINATION GLOVES -
ATTACHMENT A - 9/23/04, ATTACHMENT B - 4/15/04

(NOTE:  This import alert represents the Agency's current guidance to FDA
field personnel regarding the manufacturer(s) and/or product(s) at issue.  It
does not create or confer any rights for or on any person, and does not
operate to bind FDA or the public.

REASON FOR
REISSUANCE:         A new procedure was developed for detention without physical
                    examination of gloves manufactured by firms who repeatedly
                    import non-compliant products.

CHARGE:        "The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to
               section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to contain
               defects/holes [Adulteration, section 501(c).]"

               When FDA has documented repeated violations, and the
               manufacturer/shipper has been issued a Warning Letter and
               listed in Attachment B of the Recidivist Policy describe
               below, future shipments ma be detained charging the
               following:

               "The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to
               section 801(a)(1) in that it appears that the methods used

               [Adulteration, section 501(h), Good Manufacturing Practices,
               Section 520(f).]"


RECOMMENDING
OFFICE:        Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)

REASON FOR
ALERT:         CDRH has determined that many foreign manufacturers and
               shippers of medical gloves have failed to consistently
               provide medical gloves of adequate quality for distribution
               in the U. S.  Surgeon's and examination gloves are widely
               used by health care professionals and others as a barrier to
               blood-borne diseases and pathogens.  Defective medical
               gloves present a potential hazard to health for users as
               well as patients.  Therefore, continuous monitoring of these
               medical gloves is needed.

GUIDANCE:      Districts may detain without physical examination, all
               shipments of surgeon's and patient examination gloves from
               the manufacturers/shippers listed on the attachments to this
               alert.

               Surveillance sampling of other manufacturers/shipper's
               surgeon's and patient examination gloves per the most recent
               guidance is indicated.

               NOTE: Because the presence of defects in medical gloves
               represents a potential hazard to health, only one (1)
               violative sample is needed to submit a recommendation for
               detention without physical examination to the Division of
               Import Operations & Policy (DIOP).  DIOP has direct
               reference authority for  detention without physical
               examination of these medical gloves.  Violative medical
               gloves are subject to RPM Chapter 9, Detention Without
               Physical Examination, subchapter "Recommendations Based on
               One Sample."

               The following strategy has been established to address those
               manufacturers/shippers who are found to repeatedly ship
               violative medical gloves to the U.S. (recidivist firms.)

               Level 1  Detention (INDICATED BY * IN ATTACHMENT A)

               When a district encounters a shipment of medical gloves
               which is found violative for defects by FDA analysis, the
               shipment should be detained and a recommendation for
               detention without physical examination should be forwarded
               to DIOP, HFC-170.

               If the recommendation meets current guidance, the
               manufacturer/shipper will be placed on attachment "A" with a
               single asterisk(*), and subsequent medical glove shipments
               from that manufacturer/shipper may be detained without
               physical examination under this import alert.  This is
               referred to as "Level 1 detention."  The
               manufacturer/shipper may obtain admission of subsequently
               detained shipments of medical gloves by presenting evidence
               that the individual shipments are not adulterated, such as
               sample analyses performed by an independent testing
               laboratory, following the sampling plan and test method
               contained in FDA guidance.

               In order for the responsible manufacturer's/shipper's name
               to be removed from attachment "A," documentation should be
               provided with sufficient evidence that their medical gloves
               are not adulterated (for example, five consecutive non-
               violative shipments analyzed as described in the preceding
               paragraph may be considered adequate evidence for
               manufacturers/shippers to be removed from Level 1
               detention).

               Level  2  Detention  --  (Recidivist firms which are
               currently on Level 1 detention, or which have been removed
               from Level 1 detention) (INDICATED BY **  IN ATTACHMENT A)

               If a manufacturer/shipper, while on Level 1 detention, has a
               violative sample analyzed by a private laboratory, the
               district should notify DIOP and submit supporting
               documentation. DIOP will place the firm on Level 2 detention
               and identify the manufacturer/shipper on attachment "A" with
               two asterisks (**).

               Similarly, if a manufacturer/shipper that has been removed
               from Level 1 detention has a violative sample analyzed by
               FDA within 24 months from the date they were removed from
               Level 1 detention, the district should notify DIOP and
               submit supporting documentation.  DIOP will verify the
               manufacturer/shipper was listed under Level 1 detention
               during the past 24 months and if confirmed will place the
               manufacturer/shipper on Level 2 detention and identify the
               manufacturer/shipper on attachment "A" with two asterisks
               (**).

               DIOP will bring this action to the attention of CDRH.

               Based on this second listing within 24 months, CDRH has
               agreed to notify the foreign firm in writing of FDA's
               concerns about potential deficiencies in the manufacturing
               practices and process controls which may be affecting the
               quality of the medical gloves shipped to the U.S.   A copy
               of the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Regulations will
               be provided with the letter for their information.

               Once a manufacturer/shipper is placed on Level 2 detention,
               FDA may need greater assurance that the medical gloves are
               not adulterated before removing the manufacturer/shipper
               from detention without physical examination status.  For
               example, 10 consecutive non-violative shipments, analyzed by
               an independent testing laboratory, may be considered
               adequate evidence that the manufacturer/shipper is shipping
               medical gloves to the U.S. which are not adulterated.  Other
               types of evidence to remove the appearance of a violation
               will be evaluated by CDRH on a case-by-case basis.

               Level  3  Detention  -- (Recidivist firms which are
               currently on Level 2 detention, or which have been removed
               from Level 2 detention) (** * IN ATTACHMENT A DENOTES A
               WARNING LETTER IS BEING CONSIDERED BY CDRH)

               If a manufacturer/shipper, while on Level 2 detention, has
               another violative sample analyzed by an independent testing
               laboratory, the district should notify DIOP and submit
               supporting documentation.

               Similarly, if a manufacturer/shipper removed from Level 2
               detention has another violative sample analyzed by FDA
               within 24 months from the date they were removed from Level
               1 detention, or the date they were placed on Level 2
               detention, DIOP will bring these instances to the attention
               of CDRH.

               Based on the failure of the manufacturer's/shipper's medical
               gloves to pass FDA analysis [Section 501(c)] after being
               listed on Level 2 detention, or having failed an independent
               testing laboratory examination while under Level 2
               detention, CDRH may then issue a Warning Letter to the firm.
               Additionally, after reviewing the manufacturer/shipper's
               export and inspectional history, CDRH may elect to charge
               the firm for failure to conform with GMPs [Section 501(h)],
               based on the recurring GMP deficiencies as revealed by the
               repeated failures of analyses.  If CDRH determines a warning
               letter should issue to the foreign manufacturer/shipper,
               DIOP will place the manufacturer/shipper on Level 3
               detention (attachment B).

               Non-violative analyses may not be sufficient to remove the
               appearance of a violation for manufacturers/shippers on
               attachment B.  Manufacturers/shippers will remain on Level 3
               detention until evidence is provided to CDRH which
               demonstrates that the medical gloves are being manufacturerd
               in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (for
               example, an acceptable FDA inspection or a written
               certification from the manufacturer/shipper together with
               the results of an independent audit performed by a qualified
               third party).

               Once a foreign manufacturer/shipper satisfactorily
               demonstrates that the apparent GMP deviations have been
               corrected, the manufacturer/shipper will be removed from
               attachment "B" and placed on attachment "A" under the Level
               1 detention for individual shipment analysis to confirm
               their medical gloves do not contain defects until they
               provide adequate evidence to be removed from Level 1
               detention (see above).

               For questions or issues concerning science, science policy,
               sample collection, analysis, preparation, or analytical
               methodology, contact the Division of Field Science at (301)
               443-3320 or 3007.

               For questions concerning 21 CFR 800.20, CPG 7124.31, medical
               glove labeling, or other compliance issues, contact CDRH,
               Office of Compliance, Division of Enforcement II at (301)
               594-4618.

SAMPLING:      See 21 CFR 800.20(c) for sample plans.

               All sizes should be represented as closely as feasible to
               the proportion which they exist in the shipment, however,
               exact statistical representation is not necessary.  If the
               sample is found violative, all sizes should be detained.

               When an entry consists of only one size, attempt to collect
               as many lot numbers as possible.  For example, if during a
               random sample collection three lot numbers are observed,
               represent them all as subs within one sample. If the sample
               is found violative, all lots should be detained.

               If a shipment is detained based on the analysis of one lot
               and subsequently it is learned that there were 10 lot
               numbers present, the detention stands.
