Overview
- The order, published Tuesday in the Official Gazette, halts Laboratorios Polybius from producing, fractioning, or distributing medicines until corrective actions are verified.
- The inspection was triggered after P. L. Rivero y Cía. S.A. was previously inhibited under Disposición 6199/25, with Polybius listed as a contract manufacturer for that firm.
- Polybius acknowledged producing two 500 ml saline lots (70413108 and 70416108) in December 2024 during the on-site verification.
- Inspectors noted delays in raw‑material log entries, unsigned analysis protocols, and expired area qualifications, deficiencies ANMAT said undermine traceability and recall readiness.
- ANMAT opened a sanitary sumario against the company and its technical director and notified INAME and provincial authorities, marking roughly the seventh lab inhibition in about a month.
