Abstract

and was positioned 4.03 standard deviations from the center of the lot cluster in multidimensional spectral hyperspace. These results suggest that the manufacturing process may have been operating outside of a state of process control. Given the ongoing national shortages of acetazolamide as of January 2026, such quality assurance screenings are critical for maintaining supply chain transparency and ensuring the reliability of medication used in evolving clinical protocols.
