The files of two employees working in the IT department did not specify which versions of the SOPs for which training and annual recertification have to be completed.

Annual recertification has not been carried out during the past year in the following cases:

•One employee of the Material Resources department has not been recertified since 2001.

•One employee working in the IT department has not received recertification since April 2002.

•Two employees working in Production Information Systems have not been recertified since June 2002; however, a request to begin the recertification process was made on January 21, 2004.

Response: Inreference to IT department employees: In January 2004, an information system quality control specialist joined the IT division team. This person ensures that IT staff receive the appropriate regulatory training and is also responsible for the updating of training files. As a result of Health Canada’s observation, the employee training files have now been corrected and the SOP versions are duly noted. The information system quality control specialist will also ensure that the employee in question is recertified before the end of March 2004. A new position of computerized production systems quality control specialist was created in February 2004 in the Production Information Systems division. The incumbent will ensure that the appropriate regulatory training will be provided and that the two employees in question will be recertified before the end of March 2004.

Compliance:March 31, 2004 W HOLE B LOOD – Equipment - C.02.005 2. Asobserved during the last inspection, blood collection equipment scheduled for periodic calibration has not been returned systematically to the Biomedical Equipment department. In those instances where equipment was not returned, no follow-up of the departments concerned was carried out.

The TEC-ENR-013 form, which is used to log maintenance procedures, was not always thoroughly filled out. Therefore, it was not possible to verify if maintenance tasks were carried out according to the specified frequency.

There was no procedure in place to ensure that maintenance tasks that had been requested on work order forms and then postponed were actually carried out within an acceptable time frame.

Response:Corrected during the inspection.

Compliance:N/A

•The 2003 daily (CON-ENR-033), weekly (CON-ENR-034) and monthly (CON-ENR-035) maintenance forms of one red cell washer had not been signed by the supervisor.

•The ID number of the washer concerned (#1 or #2) was not recorded on the CON-ENR-035 form.

Responses to the observations of the Health Canada inspection of the Montréal facility January 19–30, 2004 W HOLE B LOOD – Raw Materials Analysis – C.02.009 5. Duringa thrombapheresis donor selection interview, the attending nurse confirmed the donor’s irregular pulse rate (originally indicated by the IVAC vital signs monitor) by again using the IVAC monitor, instead of proceeding manually, as required by SOP 01 200.

Response:The nurse in question was briefed on this observation.  Theentire nursing staff will participate in an evaluation based on role- playing situations in order to determine any lack of compliance with SOP 01 200. Following an analysis of the results of this evaluation, if there has been a failure to comply with regulations, it will be discussed on an individual basis with the nurses implicated.

Duringpreventive maintenance work carried out on November 12, 2003 on the Cell Dyn 314 84 unit, the calibration certificate of the manometer used was unavailable.

Response:In reference to preventive maintenance work carried out on November 12, 2003 on the Cell Dyn analyser, the unit’s supplier is unable to provide a copy of the manometer calibration certificate. However, the supplier has guaranteed in writing that any abnormal pressure/vacuum setting of the Cell Dyn 314 84 unit would be caused by faulty control settings. In this case the unit cannot be used.

A formal request has been sent to the supplier, asking that, in the future, calibration certificates be provided prior to preventive maintenance work. The supplier will also repeat the maintenance work carried out on November 12, 2003.
