THE COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION INCLUDED A REVIEW OF THE BATCH HISTORY RECORD FOR TB CARBOLFUCHSIN KF. THE BATCH HISTORY RECORD REVIEWS INDICATED NO DISCREPANCIES. ALL RELEASE TESTING WAS SATISFACTORY. COMPLAINT TRENDS WERE REVIEWED FOR A PERIOD COVERING 12 MONTHS. DURING THAT TIME THERE HAVE BEEN NO CONFIRMED COMPLAINTS FOR THE DEFECT IN QUESTION. TWO PHOTOS WERE ATTACHED IN LIEU OF RETURN.

SLIDES OF POSITIVE (M. TUBERCULOSIS ATCC 25177) AND NEGATIVE (B. SUBTILIS ATCC 6533) CONTROLS WERE EVALUATED AND GAVE SATISFACTORY STAINING RESULTS AT RELEASE OF THE PRODUCT. FROM CUSTOMER'S RESPONSE: ¿AFB QC SLIDES WERE USED AND PRODUCED EXPECTED RESULTS. POSITIVE CONTROL SLIDE HAD PINK/RED ACID-FAST BACILLI. NEGATIVE CONTROL SLIDE HAD GREENISH-BLUE BACKGROUND¿. THE ORGANISM DESCRIBED IN THE COMPLAINT REPORT IS NOCARDIA. BD DOES NOT HAVE ESTABLISHED RELEASE REQUIREMENTS OR PERFORMANCE DATA FOR STAINING NOCARDIA.
