During a routine visual inspection, particulate matter was observed bound to the stopper of some vials of ERWINASE (Batch CAMR-177). Vials of ERWINASE with visible particulate matter need to be discarded. The global supply of ERWINASE has been affected by this ongoing issue with defective stoppers. To avoid a potential shortage of ERWINASE, Health Canada has facilitated the importation of 50 packs of UK-labelled product from the global Batch CAMR-177 as an interim measure. A standard 5-micron filter needle should be used to withdraw the reconstituted product from the UK-labelled product prior to administration.
