Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation summary: during manufacturing of material 221353, 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 0323733 was satisfactory at time of release 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.Trypticase soy agar with 5% sheep blood is stability tested annually 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 0323733.Retention samples from batch 0323733 were not available for inspection.Two photos were received for investigation.One photo shows the bottom off a plate from batch 0316613 (time stamp 1347) with the plate print featured for batch verification.The photo shows the agar surface of two plates that have been inoculated.One of the plates appears to be the same plate as in the other photo from batch 0316613.The complaint describes atypical, beta hemolysis when enterococcus species is grown.There is a visible difference in the hemolysis of the organisms in the photo; one has beta hemolysis and the other from batch 0316613 has more like gamma hemolysis.It is presumed that since the plate from batch 0316613 does not show beta hemolysis that it is considered the typical plate compared to the plate with beta hemolysis.Conclusions about performance cannot be determined from photos and the photos do not show batch verification for batch 0323733.No returns were received for investigation.This complaint cannot be confirmed for a performance defect.Bd will continue to trend complaints for performance.
