Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Describe event or problem: ¿it was reported that while using bd bbl¿ xld agar bacterial contamination was observed by the laboratory personnel.There was no indication that results were reported out and there was no report of patient impact.¿ investigation summary: during manufacturing of material 221284, 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 0329949 was satisfactory and no quality notifications were generated during manufacturing and inspection.The release testing that is performed on this product does include physical attribute and bioburden testing.A sample of plates are incubated at 25 degrees c and at 35 degrees c for approximately 72 hours.All physical attribute and 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 one other complaint has been taken on batch 0329949 for foreign material.Retention samples from batch 0329949 were not available for inspection.No returns or photos were received for investigation.However, returns from batch 0329949 from another customer had bile salt precipitates.Bile salts (sodium desoxycholate) are a component of the medium.Throughout shelf-life bile salts may crystalize and present as white particles on the agar surface or within the media (and may resemble microbial growth).The presence of crystallized bile salts should not affect the performance of the product.The complaint has been confirmed.Bd will continue to trend complaints for precipitates.Based on the low defect rate for this batch, no actions are planned at this time.
