Destroy single/multiple items at depot

Item destruction refers to the process of disposing of or destroying an investigational product or other unused medication when they are no longer needed, damaged, or for another reason.

In IWRS, the depots that have been marked as a return can destroy items that are marked as ready for destruction one by one or in bulk.

Important

To enable this functionality, turn off the Enable Destruction Batch toggle on the Study Information page.

By destroying an item from the Destruction page of IWRS, you reflect the actual physical disposal action taken toward the drug at a certain depot. This helps to keep the database up-to-date for tracking and compliance reasons.

To destroy single or multiple items at a depot
  1. In the IWRS application header, select the DEPOT tab.

  2. In the Depot List table that opens, select the needed depot.
