H.6 investigation summary: during manufacturing of material 221800, media is formulated and sent through a high temperature short time sterilizer to remove bioburden.The petri dishes are subjected to uv radiation to decrease bioburden.The petri dishes are filled in a positive pressure hepa filtered environment.The filled plates are cooled and immediately wrapped into sleeves to decrease the introduction of microbes.Sleeves are then packaged into cartons and then transferred to a refrigerated truck (2 to 8 degrees c) for shipment to the distributor.Bd distributors are provided with the storage guidelines for the shipping and handling of bd media of 2 to 8 degrees c in a dark place.The batch history record for batch 2020098 was satisfactory and no quality notifications were generated during manufacturing and inspection.All batches are tested prior to release and results reported on the certificate of analysis which can be obtained at www.Bd.Com/regdocs.Mueller hinton agar is stability tested biennially for biological performance to ensure satisfactory performance throughout shelf life with the organisms that are reported on the certificate of analysis.All performance testing on this batch was satisfactory at the time of release.The complaint history was reviewed, and no other complaints have been taken on batch 2020098.Retention samples from batch 2020098 were not available for inspection.One photo was received for investigation.The photo shows the bottom of six plates, each with eight discs stamped onto the surface but only two plates have visible growth.No plate prints can be read for batch verification from the photos.It is followed that there was no growth where expected however, conclusions about performance cannot be made from photos.No samples were received for investigation.This complaint cannot be confirmed.Bd will continue to trend complaints for performance.Risk management file review assessed the potential risk for the defect as severity s3 per baltrmppmgenpuraph, rev 02, id 1.6.
