Latest FDA News!
FDA Delays Product Tracing
Data Enforcement for
Pharmacies and Hospitals
The FDA recently issued guidance
announcing a 4 month enforcement delay
until November 1, 2015 for certain
product tracing requirements. This delay
applies to pharmaceutical supply chain
dispensers, such as pharmacies and
hospitals. The delay by the FDA was in
response to a request made last week by
industry stakeholders seeking more time
to work with trading partners in
developing and testing electronic
databases to exchange and store such
data. In addition, FDA has posted a
webinar for small business owners to
explain the essential components of
DSCSA. Visit collaboration.fda.gov for
more information.
Notwithstanding this latest
reprieve, be mindful that the FDA
or state regulators can enforce
the following dispenser
requirements at any time:
 Dispensers must have in place a
system to verify that all trading
partners are properly licensed and
authorized under federal or state
licensing laws;
 Dispensers must have a system is in
respond to requests and to
quarantine and perform
investigations to rule out suspect or
potentially illegitimate products.
Dispensers must be ready respond
to FDA or state recall requests
within 2 days.
 Dispensers who sell/transfer
ownership to another dispenser
(except for specific patient need or
other exceptions) will be required to
transfer transaction data along with
the product.
