Delete item destruction batch at site
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. It is an important step in ensuring the proper management and disposal of these items to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, participant safety, and confidentiality.
In IWRS, the sites involved in your trial for which the item destruction is enabled can dispose of items themselves by creating destruction batches—bundles of items that are to be destroyed together—and approving their disposal. For the batches that were created but not yet approved, the destruction request can be canceled, for instance, if some items were added to the batch by mistake.
Once the destruction request is canceled, the batch can be removed from the system if no longer needed. Thus, the items previously intended to be destroyed within this batch become available as ready for destruction at your site, and you can create another batch with them.
