Manufacturer Narrative

An internal biomérieux investigation was performed with results as follows: the submitted pellet from customer stock # 585-34 (bacteroides ovatus atcc 1296) was rehydrated and along with the biomérieux internal quality control (qc) strain were subcultured to columbia blood agar (cba).Anc card testing included individual organism suspensions on cards from the two customer lots (2440560403, 2440541203) and a random lot (2440496103) in duplicate for each strain.911581 (585-34): five (5) of six (6) anc cards tested showed no qc deviations and no misidentifications were observed.For the remaining card, an atypical negative aara was demonstrated, but no misidentification was observed.400963 (biomérieux internal qc strain): no qc deviations or misidentifications were observed on any of the six (6) anc cards tested.One (1) of the customer's reported issues were duplicated with one atypical negative aara reaction on one (1) of six (6) anc cards tested with no misidentification and with the customer's strain only.Vitek® 2 cards performed as expected with the biomérieux internal qc strain.
