CGMP Deviations: Presence of N-nitroso-Dabigatran impurity above recommended interim limit
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
