Initial testing of the nebulizers yielded four units that delivered particle sizes that did not meet the specification (NB-SPEC-039). The out of specification (OOS) nebulizers were cleaned per the approved SPAG-2 procedure, SPE-000127228 Rev 2, to remove any product residue and were then re-evaluated. Secondary testing yielded that three of the four nebulizers still did not meet the particle size specification.

Only half of the nebulizers will be picked-up for particle-size testing at each account to prevent shortages of VIRAZOLE, which can only be used with the SPAG-2 device.
