    Appearance Visual inspection allows for identification & detection of possibledefects

    ImpuritiesThe acceptance criteria applied is based on: 1) the maximum contentof impurities found in the batches used during the development for

    toxicology studies and in the intentionally degraded and spiked batchNo. FE 349 used to qualify the impurities (Information located in3.2.S.3.2.) 2) the qualification level of each impurity.

    Assay The HPLC weight percent assay specification of 98.5-101.0% wasestablished from a review of the release data generated to date andfrom consideration of the assay variability. The weight percentrelease results ranged from 98.5% to 100.7% in the batch data. Thespecification of 98.5-101.0% by weight describes the consistentlyhigh quality of the drug substance and allows for typical analyticalvariability.

    Other tests Comply with USP requirements.

    Test Just ification of Specifications

    Appearance Visual inspection allows for identification & detection of possibledefects

    IdentificationTwo identification tests carried out routinely: HPLC and infraredspectrum. Although the retention times obtained from HPLC may notbe regarded as being specific, the combination of infrared spectrumwith it is sufficient and acceptable to identify the drug substancewithout ambiguity.

    ImpuritiesThe acceptance criteria applied is based on: 1) the maximum contentof impurities found in the batches used during the development fortoxicology studies and in the intentionally degraded and spiked batchNo. FE 250 used to qualify the impurities 2) the qualification level ofeach impurity.

    Assay The HPLC weight percent assay specification was established froma review of the release and stability data generated to date and fromconsideration of the assay variability. The specification describes

    the consistently high quality of the drug product and allows fortypical analytical variability.
