H.6 investigation summary: during manufacturing of material 221291, 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.No batch number, returns or photos were provided for investigation.Retention samples cannot be evaluated without a specific batch number.Trending was performed on the appropriate quality databases and no trends for broken plates were found in the last 12 months.The complaint history was reviewed for material 221291 and there are no trends for broken plates in any batch over the last 12 months.A trend was identified for contamination and investigation found opportunities for bioburden reduction in the manufacturing process.A capa (corrective and preventative actions) has been initiated and involves implementing additional cleaning events and evaluation of manufacturing procedures focused on in-process bioburden reduction.Additional trainings are planned with an ongoing training review for cleaning processes.This complaint can be confirmed for contamination based on trend identified.However, this complaint cannot be confirmed for broken plates.Bd will continue to trend complaints for contamination and broken plates.Capa #3076308 h3 other text : see h.10.
