Spills or Losses and How to Address Them

The information contained here provide steps on how to handle spills and losses for controlled substances and dangerous drugs including notification requirements and links to the necessary ºÚÁÏÍø and DEA forms.

  1. Breakage, spills, or other witnessed accidental controlled substance losses do not need to be reported to the DEA or Ohio Board of Pharmacy.
    1. Such losses must be documented and witnessed using either ºÚÁÏÍø Usage Log (for directly used substances) or ºÚÁÏÍø Dilution and Usage Log (for diluted substances).
    2. Controlled substances that can be recovered after a spill, but cannot be used due to contamination must be disposed of properly. SeeÌýDisposal or Destruction.
  2. Any shortage identified as aÌýsignificant lossÌýor theft of a controlled substance must be reported immediately. Theft and/or misuse of a controlled substance is a criminal act.
    1. A significant loss can be either a pattern of small losses over time or one-time loss and is relative to the amount of controlled substance used by the registrant on average.
    2. Additionally, type of controlled substance also plays a role in whether or not an amount is a significant loss. The more likely a drug is a candidate for diversion (i.e., Schedule of the Drug) is important. Schedule I and II drugs and some Schedule III drugs (i.e. ketamine) fall into this catagory.
    3. Registrants must notifyÌýºÚÁÏÍø PoliceÌý(530.2601) and theÌýIACUC, as well as theÌýÌý(614.446.4143) and the Detroit Field Office of theÌýÌý(313.234.4187).
    4. Thefts or losses should be documented using ºÚÁÏÍø Theft or Loss Form.
    5. Federal regulations require that registrants notify the DEA Field Office withinÌýone business dayÌýof discovery of such a loss or theft.
    6. Registrants must complete a Report of Theft or Loss of Controlled Substances ().
  3. Any shortage identified as aÌýsignificant lossÌýor theft of a dangerous drug must be reported immediately.
    1. Registrants must notify ºÚÁÏÍø Police (530.2601) and theÌýIACUC, as well as theÌýÌý(614.446.4143).
