The outbreak of meningitis that caused more than 40 deaths in the US in 2012 and that appears to be traced back to a Pharmaceuticals compounding centre in New England is thought certain to provoke tougher regulations from the Food and Drug Administration on compounding operations.

It is the largest and most comprehensive monitoring solution installed by Lighthouse in a compounding pharmacy in the US.
