11 Digit NDC Code

|
|
It should be noted that many NDCs are displayed on drug packaging in a 10-digit format. Proper billing of an NDC requires an 11-digit number in a 5-4-2 format. Converting NDCs from a 10-digit to 11-digit format requires a strategically placed zero, dependent upon the 10-digit format.

Description
|
GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC (human immunoglobulin) is a single-dose sterile, liquid preparation of purified and concentrated IgG antibodies. GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC has an IgA concentration less than or equal to 2 µg/mL, in a 10% solution. The distribution of the IgG subclasses is similar to that of normal plasma with lower levels of IgG4 and IgG3. The Fc and Fab functions are maintained in GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC. Pre-kallikrein activator activity is not detectable. GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC contains 100 mg/mL protein. At least 98% of the protein is immune globulin, the average IgA concentration is less than or equal to 2 µg/mL, in a 10% solution and immunoglobulin M is present in trace amounts. GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC contains a broad spectrum of IgG antibodies against bacterial and viral agents. Glycine (0.25M) serves as a stabilizing and buffering agent. There are no added sugars, sodium, or preservatives. The pH is 4.6 to 5.1. The osmolality is 240 to 300 mOsmol/kg, which is similar to physiological osmolality (285 to 295 mOsmol/kg). GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC is manufactured from large pools of human plasma. IgG preparations are purified from plasma pools using a modified Cohn-Oncley cold ethanol fractionation process, as well as cation and anion exchange chromatography. GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC shares its manufacturing process with GAMMAGARD LIQUID. The differentiation occurs with the modified parameters applied during the anion exchange chromatography step enhanced removal capability (ERC) to reduce IgA content, resulting in a product with IgA less than or equal to 2 µg/mL in a 10% solution. Screening against potentially infectious agents begins with the donor selection process and continues throughout plasma collection and plasma preparation. Each individual plasma donation used in the manufacture of GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC is collected only at FDA-approved blood establishments and is tested by FDA licensed serological tests for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), and for antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1/HIV-2) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in accordance with U.S. regulatory requirements. As an additional safety measure, mini-pools of the plasma are tested for the presence of HIV-1 and HCV by FDA licensed Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) and found to be negative. To improve the margin of safety, validated virus inactivation/removal steps have been integrated into the manufacturing and formulation processes, namely solvent/detergent (S/D) treatment, nanofiltration, and a low pH incubation at elevated temperature (30° to 32°C). The S/D process includes treatment with an organic mixture of tri-n-butyl phosphate, octoxynol 9 and polysorbate 80 at 18° to 25°C for a minimum of 60 minutes. S/D treatment inactivates the lipid-enveloped viruses investigated to below detection limits within minutes. In vitro virus spiking studies have been used to validate the capability of the manufacturing process to inactivate and remove viruses. To establish the minimum applicable virus clearance capacity of the manufacturing process, virus clearance studies were performed under extreme conditions (e.g., at minimum S/D concentrations, incubation time and temperature for the S/D treatment). Virus clearance studies for GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC performed in accordance with good laboratory practices are summarized in Table 6.
