The purpose of this appendix is to establish written procedures for the communication and processing of product complaints, which includes adverse drug reactions, and recalls.

Acting in accord with this Agreement will facilitate compliance with Federal Requirements as set forth in 21 CFR 211.198 (complaint files) and 21 CFR 310.305/21 CFR 314.80 (postmarketing reporting of adverse drug reactions).

COMPLAINT COMMUNICATION AND REPORTING

All communications will be performed via facsimile within three working days of receipt of the information/complaint, except where stated otherwise.

(A)	Complaints reports received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be documented using the Product Quality Report Form (attached) and followed up using ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ existing S.O.P. A copy of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ complaint form will be forwarded to Elan.

(B)	Complaints reported directly by Elan involving marketed batches of Product in the Territory will be documented through the use of Elan’s form. A copy of Elan’s complaint form will be sent to: Drug Safety (Adverse Events/Complaints) at ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(C)	Complaint reports which may meet Field Alert Report ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ [▇▇ ▇▇▇ 314.81 (b)(1)] will be communicated via facsimile to the Regulatory Filing holder within one working day.

(D)	Adverse drug reaction complaints will be reported by the recipient to the Regulatory Filing holder, who will be responsible for completing and submitting the adverse reaction form to the FDA in a timely manner.

COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION:

(A)	▇▇▇▇▇▇ will investigate all Product complaints associated with labeling, handling and any other aspect under ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ control.

(C)	Elan will provide a written summary of its investigation of B above to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Director of Regulatory & Professional Affairs within 30 days of either Party receiving the complaint.

COMMUNICATION WITH COMPLAINANT

-37-

If a complaint involves both product quality concerns and other aspects, such as labeling problems, Elan and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will share information and develop a mutually acceptable final response, to be sent by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will forward a copy of all final complaint responses to Elan on the day the response is sent to the complainant.

The Regulatory Filing holder will be responsible for initiating and ensuring that all aspects of a drug recall are carried out by the agreed upon Party, including communicating with the FDA, notifying customers, performing the recall effectiveness check, and submitting monthly reports.
