Approve item destruction batch 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 can destroy items by creating destruction batches—bundles of items that are to be destroyed together—and approving their disposal.
The review and approval stage is required to ensure an additional tier of security for drug disposal procedures at depots and respective records maintenance in the IWRS system.
