Manufacturer Narrative

H.6.Investigation: during manufacturing of material 221261, 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 records for batches 1077983 and 1078183 were satisfactory per internal procedures.The release testing that is performed on this product does include bioburden testing.A sample of plates are incubated at 25 degrees c and at 35 degrees c for approximately 72 hours.All bioburden testing performed on this batch was satisfactory per bd internal procedures.Affected product does not have any sterility claims; the product is tested for bioburden prior to release to ensure that it conforms to product specifications.However, this does not ensure that the end-user will not receive a contaminated plate.The complaint history was reviewed, and no other complaints have been taken on batch 1078183 and the only other complaint taken on batch 1077983 was also from mayo clinic for contamination.Retention samples from batches 1077983 and 1078183 were not available for inspection.No return samples or photos were received for investigation of this complaint.This complaint cannot be confirmed.Bd will continue to trend complaints for contamination.
