H6: investigation summary: during manufacturing of material 221240, media is formulated using the dehydrated culture media (dcm) with usp purified water.Media is then processed through a high temperature short time sterilizer to remove bioburden and is aseptically dispensed directly into petri dishes.Personnel working in the filling area are required to wear full body jumpsuits, hoods, boots, masks and gloves.Dispensing and sleeving are completed within iso certified environment.The filled plates are cooled and immediately wrapped 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 1026609 was satisfactory and no quality notifications were generated during manufacturing and inspection.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 1026609.Retention samples from batch 1026609 were not available for inspection.Two photos were received for investigation.One photo shows the bottom of two plates from batch 1026609 (time stamps 0132 and 0133) with one microbial colony in each plate visible.The other photo shows the agar surface of the same two plates to feature the colony growing.No return samples were received for investigation.This complaint can be confirmed.No trend for contamination has been identified for this product; no actions are planned at this time.Bd will continue to trend complaints for contamination.
