Canada Imposes Restrictions on Grifols Plasma Centers
- Regulatory Restrictions: Health Canada has imposed restrictions on all plasma centers operated by Grifols (GRFS) due to the company's failure to pass multiple regulatory inspections and the occurrence of fatal adverse reactions in two plasma donors, indicating serious operational issues.
- Inspection Findings: A January inspection at Grifols' Canadian headquarters in Oakville revealed that the company did not accurately assess donor suitability and lacked properly trained staff, leading to non-compliance with operational procedures.
- Non-compliance Ratings: Following recent inspections at two other Grifols facilities in Calgary and Regina, Health Canada issued non-compliance ratings, highlighting the company's failure to adhere to necessary operational protocols.
- Death Investigation: The fatal adverse reactions of two plasma donors in Winnipeg are still under investigation, and while Health Canada has yet to establish a direct link between plasma collection and the deaths, this incident poses a significant challenge to Grifols' reputation and operations.
