The recent five-day audit examined numerous areas, including Utilities, Validation, Quality Control, Operations, Quality Assurance and Supply Chain. According to Ross, the favorable outcome from this inspection “reflects our commitment to always improving our quality systems and processes to satisfy a global regulatory standard.”
