H6: investigation summary this memo is to summarize findings regarding the complaint related to catalog number 221283, plate trypticase soy agar 100 ea, batch number 2189895 and bd complaint number (b)(4) for contamination.During manufacturing of material 221283, 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 2189895 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 other complaints have been taken on batch 2189895 for contamination.Retention samples from batch 2189895 were not available for inspection.One photo was received for investigation.The photo shows the bottom of a sleeve from batch 2189886 (time stamp 2200) with growth in the media.No return samples were received for investigation.This complaint can be confirmed.Bd has identified a contamination trend for this product and the 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.Improvement in observation of contamination is expected as the capa progresses.Bd will continue to trend complaints for contamination.
