During manufacturing of material 221353, 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 review for batch 2007060 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 testing.A sample of plates are incubated at 25 degrees c and at 35 degrees c for approximately 72 hours.They are tested for physical attributes prior to release to ensure that they conform to product specifications.All physical attribute testing performed on this batch was satisfactory per bd internal procedures.The complaint history was reviewed, and no other complaints have been taken on batch 2007060 for contamination.Retention samples from batch 2007060 were not available for investigation.There were three (3) photos available for review of this complaint.The first photo an open plate with approximately 10 visible colonies in the media.The second photo shows another single open plate with approximately 29 colonies throughout the media.The third plate shows another open plate with approximately 6 colonies throughout the media.The plate print was not readable in any of the photos and no other product labels were visible for batch verification.Without batch verification, the photo cannot confirm the complaint.No return samples were received for investigation.This complaint cannot be confirmed.Bd will continue to trend complaints for contamination.Risk management file review assessed the potential risk for the defect as severity s1, per baltrmppmselectiveaph, rev 02, id 6.13.
