DSCSA Compliance - Mpje
- Which DSCSA document must a dispenser provide when transferring ownership of a prescription drug?
- Provide TI/TH/TS to the receiving trading partner. Dispensers must provide these documents during ownership transfers to comply with tracing requirements.
- What is the DSCSA definition of transaction history (TH) for a drug transaction?
- Prior TI for each transaction back to the manufacturer. TH compiles all previous TI to provide a complete ownership chain back to the manufacturer for verification.
- What does DSCSA mean by an "authorized trading partner" for dispensers?
- Properly licensed/registered entity permitted to distribute the product. Authorized trading partners must meet licensing requirements to legally handle and distribute prescription drugs under DSCSA.
- What is the first DSCSA action a dispenser must take when suspect product is identified?
- Quarantine the product from saleable inventory. Quarantining prevents distribution of potentially harmful products while investigation proceeds under DSCSA protocols.
- Identify the DSCSA rule for distributing a product that is confirmed illegitimate.
- Distribution is prohibited; product must be removed and disposed/returned. DSCSA prohibits distribution of illegitimate products to safeguard the supply chain and public health.
- Identify the correct DSCSA action if a wholesaler offers product but is not licensed in your state.
- Reject the transaction; the seller is not an authorized trading partner. Unlicensed wholesalers are not authorized, so transactions must be rejected to comply with DSCSA.
- What is the DSCSA definition of transaction statement (TS) from the transferring partner?
- Attestation of authorized status and DSCSA compliance for the product. TS certifies that the seller is authorized and has complied with DSCSA requirements, ensuring product legitimacy.
- What DSCSA concept describes requesting and providing product tracing data upon request?
- Verification and tracing response obligations between trading partners. DSCSA establishes mutual obligations for partners to share tracing data to verify product authenticity upon request.
- What DSCSA document set must a trading partner provide for each transaction of a prescription drug?
- TI, TH, and TS (transaction information, history, statement). DSCSA requires trading partners to exchange these documents to ensure traceability and prevent counterfeit drugs in the supply chain.
- What is the DSCSA requirement for the format or accessibility of tracing records for inspection?
- Maintain records in a retrievable form for prompt access and review. DSCSA ensures records are accessible for regulatory inspections to verify compliance and investigate issues.
- What does DSCSA require a dispenser to do if a suspect product is determined illegitimate?
- Notify FDA and trading partners and arrange disposition (do not dispense). Notifications and proper disposition are required to alert authorities and prevent illegitimate products from entering commerce.
- What is the DSCSA record retention period for product tracing documentation?
- years. DSCSA mandates a -year retention to allow for inspections and investigations into product legitimacy over time.
- Which DSCSA step is correct when a trading partner requests tracing data for a suspect lot you received?
- Provide the requested TI/TH/TS for that lot from your records. DSCSA requires prompt response to verification requests to assist in investigating suspect products.
- Which DSCSA step requires a dispenser to check tracing data to investigate a suspect product?
- Investigation using TI/TH/TS and other relevant records. DSCSA requires thorough review of tracing documents to determine if a product is suspect or illegitimate.
- Identify the DSCSA error: "We may dispense quarantined product while investigation is pending."
- Dispensing is prohibited; quarantined product must not be distributed. DSCSA prohibits distribution of quarantined products to prevent potential harm during ongoing investigations.
- What is the DSCSA definition of transaction information (TI) in product tracing?
- Product, parties, dates, quantity, lot, and shipment details. TI includes specific details about the product and transaction to enable accurate tracing through the supply chain.
- What DSCSA action is required if a package shows evidence of tampering and may be counterfeit?
- Quarantine and investigate as suspect product. Tampering indicates potential counterfeiting, requiring quarantine and investigation per DSCSA protocols.
- What is the DSCSA definition of a "suspect product"?
- Product possibly counterfeit, diverted, stolen, adulterated, or unfit. Suspect products are those with indications of potential illegitimacy, requiring investigation to protect public health.
- Which DSCSA requirement applies to a dispenser when receiving product from a trading partner?
- Accept only from authorized trading partners and obtain TI/TH/TS. Dispensers must ensure transactions are with authorized entities and include required documentation to maintain supply chain integrity.
- What is the DSCSA "verification" obligation for a dispenser related to product identifiers?
- Verify product identifier for returned/suspect product as required. Dispensers must confirm identifiers on suspect or returned products to ensure they match manufacturer data.
- Which DSCSA rule applies to receiving a shipment with missing TI/TH/TS documentation?
- Do not accept as saleable; obtain missing tracing data from the sender. Incomplete documentation violates DSCSA tracing requirements, necessitating correction before acceptance.
- What is the DSCSA definition of an "illegitimate product"?
- Product confirmed counterfeit, diverted, stolen, adulterated, or unfit. Illegitimate products are verified as compromised, necessitating removal from the supply chain to prevent harm.
- Which product details typically make up a DSCSA product identifier on a package?
- NDC, serial number, lot number, and expiration date. The product identifier standardizes unique details for serialization and traceability in the supply chain.
- What does DSCSA require before a dispenser may reintroduce a quarantined product to inventory?
- Conclude it is not suspect/illegitimate and document the outcome. DSCSA requires clearance through investigation and documentation to confirm the product is safe for distribution.
