    H.6 INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THIS MEMO IS TO SUMMARIZE FINDINGS REGARDING THE COMPLAINT RELATED TO CATALOG NUMBER 221353, PLATE COLUMBIA CNA AGAR 5% SB 100 EA, FOR BATCH NUMBER 1246413 AND COMPLAINT NUMBER (B)(4) FOR CONTAMINATION. 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 FOR BATCH 1246413 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 1246413. RETENTION SAMPLES FROM BATCH 1246413 WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. TEN PLATES FROM BATCH 1246413 WERE RETURNED AS ONE UNOPENED SLEEVE IN A ZIP LOCK BAGS SHIPPED IN A BOX WITH RETURN SAMPLES FOR ANOTHER BATCH. PLATES WERE INSPECTED AND 0/10 PLATES HAD MICROBIAL GROWTH (TIME STAMPS 0026 AND 0027). ONE OF THE RETURNED PLATES DID HAVE HEMOLYSIS OF THE MEDIA. THREE PHOTOS ALSO WERE RECEIVED FOR INVESTIGATION. ONE PHOTO SHOWS THE BOTTOM OF A PLATE FROM BATCH 1246413 (TIME STAMP 0028) WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE HEMOLYSIS OF THE MEDIA. ANOTHER PHOTO SHOWS THE AGAR SURFACE OF A PLATE WITH HEMOLYZED MEDIA. THE LAST PHOTO SHOWS THE TOP OF A SLEEVE WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE HEMOLYZED MEDIA IN THE TOP PLATE. HEMOLYSIS OF THE MEDIA CAN BE CAUSED BY MICROBIAL GROWTH, BUT INDICATION OF MICROBIAL GROWTH WAS OBSERVED IN THE RETURNS AND PHOTOS. THIS COMPLAINT CAN BE CONFIRMED FOR HEMOLYSIS. NO COMPLAINT TRENDS FOR HEMOLYSIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR THIS PRODUCT; NO ACTIONS ARE INDICATED AT THIS TIME. BD WILL CONTINUE TO TREND COMPLAINTS FOR HEMOLYSIS.
