Violation
It is believed that foreign matter contamination likely occurred during the manufacturing process. There have been reports, both domestically and internationally, of rare cases where rubber stopper-like fragments have been suspected to have mixed into vials, although the probability is very low. Even in such cases, it has been reported that the efficacy and safety of other vials from the same lot are unaffected. The foreign substance reported this time is considered to be a similar case.

製造工程において異物混入が発生した可能性が高いと考えられる。これまでにも、確率は非常に低いものの、ごくまれに製品のゴム栓様の破片がバイアル内に混入したと疑われる事例が国内外で報告されていること、その場合でも同一ロットの他のバイアルの有効性及び安全性に問題はないことが報告されており、今回報告された異物も同様の事例である可能性が高い。
