OEL Fastrac Catalog

Polylactic acid (PLA) belongs to the family of aliphatic polyesters commonly made from ahydroxy acids, which include polyglycolic acid or polymandelic acid, and are considered biodegradable and compostable. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic, high-strength, high-modulus polymer that can be made from annually renewable resources to yield articles for use in either the industrial packaging field or the biocompatible/bioabsorbable medical device market (suture threads, bone fixation screws, devices for drug delivery). It is easily processed on standard plastics equipment to yield molded parts, film, or fibers. The basic building block for PLA is lactic acid (LA) while lactide is the lactone cyclic di-ester derived from lactic acid. Polylactic acid is under investigation in clinical trials for problems of aging, skin aging, facial volume loss, skin laxity, and facial lipoatrophy.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.

Why do you need this OEL Fastrac monograph?

OEL Fastrac monographs are a cost-effective and convenient way to meet the requirements for PDEs (ADEs) contained in the EMA Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities (EMA/CHMP/CVMP/SWP/169430/2012), as well as PIC/S and ANVISA requirements, and to obtain the following information:

• The numerical OEL and control band assignment needed to determine the level of required engineering controls and personal protective equipment
• A listing of all cited references utilized in the derivation of the OEL and ADE
• An expert review and discussion with respect to the critical endpoints of concern, the rationale for the choice of endpoints, and dose that is to be used in the derivation of the ADE (PDE), as required by the EMA's Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
