Definition

material impurity role held by a material entity in virtue of that material entity being present in a target material as a result of transfer from an artifact that contacts the target material

Explanatory Notes

1) This role groups cases commonly termed extractables and leachables: Extractables: material entities intentionally extracted from manufacturing components/systems, packaging components, or delivery device components under specified laboratory test conditions; often treated as potential leachables for a given target material and use scenario. Leachables: material entities that migrate from manufacturing components/systems, packaging components, or delivery device components into a target material under established conditions of manufacture and/or labeled storage conditions (or, more generally, established handling/transport/use conditions). 2) β€œArtifact that contacts the target material” includes, for example, containers/closures, bags, tubing, filters, seals/gaskets, connectors, pumps, and relevant equipment surfaces.

Examples

  • the extractable and leachable impurity role of a plasticizer extracted from single-use tubing during an extractables study; the extractable and leachable impurity role of an antioxidant degradation product leached from a polymer bag into a process intermediate; the extractable and leachable impurity role of silicone oil transferred from a syringe component into a drug product; the extractable and leachable impurity role of a rubber stopper-derived compound detected in a filled vial during storage;
