Why it was recalled
SPAG-2 unit nebulizers from Lot J0571670RA were tested at Next Breath for particle sizing under the validated method, NB-TM-261, In November 2016. The particle size specification set in NB-SPEC-039 for Dv10, Dv50, & Dv90 are a mean value of no more than 3.0¿m, 5.5 ¿m, and 15¿m respectively. Initial testing of the nebulizers yielded four units that delivered particle sizes that did not meet the specification (NB-SPEC-039). The out of specification (OOS) nebulizers were cleaned per the approved SPAG-2 procedure, SPE-000127228 Rev 2, to remove any product residue and were then re-evaluated. Secondary testing yielded that three of the four nebulizers still did not meet the particle size specification. It was concluded that the 3 nebulizers from SPAG-2 Lot J0571670RA failed to meet (SPE-000127228 Rev 2) did not resolve the high droplet size distribution values observed.
