Cancel item destruction 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. Here, by destroying, you reflect the actual physical action taken towards the drug to keep the database up-to-date for tracking and compliance reasons. Nevertheless, you can also cancel destruction, for instance, if the action has been made by mistake.

To cancel the item(s) destruction at the depot
  1. In the IWRS application header, select the DEPOT tab.

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