Answer Posted / b.suresh naidu
OOS may be due to assignable cause (or) Non-assignable
cause.
Assignable cause: It means error is identified.
Non-assignable cause: It means error is not identified.
When any OOS result is observed, first to know any
assignable cause Laboratory preliminary investigation
(Phase-I) is recommended. Phase I investigation should
contain whether correct methododology followed as per STP,
used calibrated instruments,Analyst trained & re-injection,
re-filtration, re-dilution, re-sonication from the
original stock solutions, _ _ _etc).
If any Laboratory error is identified then repeat analysis
as defined in the SOP [Min it should be NLT 6 replicates by
two different analysts (preferably Original analyst &
experienced analyst)]
If no Laboratory error is identified, then full scale
investigation (Phase-II) is recommended. Phase-II
investigation should contain atleast Manufacturing,
Packaging, sampling/re-sampling, _ _ _etc.This sholud be
clearly defined in the SOP.
If any assignable cause is identified then repeat analysis
as defined in the SOP [Min it should be NLT 6 replicates by
two different analysts (preferably Original analyst &
experienced analyst)].If no assignable cause is identified
in phase-II investigation, then further investigation/
batch disposition shall be done as recommended by QA.

In BP2013, Loperamid HCl monograph. Assay by titration with 0.1N sodium hydroxide using hydrocloric acid 0.01N and reading the volume added between the 2 points of inflexion. I have a question that if the diluent solvent is ethanol is certainly consumed a amount of volume of titrant, so this volume must be eliminated on the result calculation or not apart from first point which is subtracted above.
