Regulatory
Draft Guidance for industry, “Powder Blends and Finished Dosage Units- Stratified In-Process Dosage Unit Sampling and Assessment.” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), October 2003; withdrawn.
United States Pharmacopeial Convention, USP 37
NF 32, USP General Chapter <905> Uniformity of dosage units, general notices and requirements, Section 3.10, Applicability of Standards.

Blend Uniformity- Content Uniformity
USP <905> does not use a statistical sampling plan, therefore the results provide limited statistical assurance that future samples from the batch would meet acceptance criteria. FDA no longer supports the approach stated in the
withdrawn guidance document nor the use of USP <905> for batch release

A Proposed Solution
Modifications to the withdrawn draft stratified sampling guidance document are proposed by the ISPE Blend Uniformity and Content Uniformity Group To assess “adequacy of mixing to assure
uniformity and homogeneity” of the finished product in accordance with cGMPs Method accommodates… Various statistical approaches PAT methods

Implementation Notes
BU analysis performed during manufacture of process design and process qualification batches
Adjust sampling plans to batch size Dosage unit samples collected over entire
compression/filling run Use weight correction for dosage unit CU as surrogate for
blend testing Use no weight correction for dosage unit test to be used for
product release

Sampling Plan and Application of ASTM Methods
“Assessment of Blend and Content Uniformity. Technical Discussion of Sampling Plans and Application of ASTM E2709/E2810”
Simple random sampling, Stratified sampling, and
Systematic sampling
ASTM method and tolerance interval approach provides a level of confidence (e.g., 90%) and coverage ( eg., 95% of future samples) that additional samples taken from the batch will meet USP <905> criteria
