already holding the import Registration Certificate and
Form 10 for the proposed product subject to the
clarification of

Page 2 of 3
17th Antimicrobial 07-04-2015
deliberation recommended that the firm should submit
adequate safety and efficacy data on the product for
further examination by the SEC.
The present committee after
deliberation have observed the following;
today’s
1.There is not enough data to prove the superiority
over the universal standard precautions which are
usually being practiced in the use of catheter
insertion
2.Since Chlorhexidine Gluconate has only
bacteriostatic activity which can contribute to
development of antimicrobial resistance.
In light of the above, the committee feels that product
may not have any distinct advantage over the
standard care.
