ALL THE DATA DEMONSTRATED THAT PRODUCT STERILITY ASSURANCE IS IN COMPLIANCE (REFERENCE REPORT (B)(4)). ADDITIONALLY, ORTHOGENRX CONDUCTED AN EVALUATION OF THE LETHALITY INDEX (F0) [WHICH MEASURES PROCESS STERILIZATION EFFECTIVENESS (THE IN-PROCESS SPECIFICATION IS F0=8)], FOR 2015 AND 2016 VALIDATION BATCHES. THE F0 SPECIFICATION IS ALWAYS ACHIEVED AND WAS IN THE RANGE OF 9.7 TO 14 FOR THE 2015 AND 2016 VALIDATIONS, RESPECTIVELY. GENVISC 850 ROUTINE PRODUCTION LOTS# J-1, J-2, AND K-1 MANUFACTURED IN 06/19/2015, 07/01/2015, AND 01/18/2016, RESPECTIVELY, WERE ALSO EVALUATED. ALL ROUTINE MANUFACTURING IS ALSO WITHIN THE SAME F0 RANGE, DEMONSTRATING PROCESS STERILIZATION EFFECTIVENESS (REFERENCE REPORT OGX-(B)(4)). THE PRODUCT STERILITY ASSURANCE IS ALSO CERTIFIED WITH IN-PROCESS CONTROLS (CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF STERILIZATION) AND FINAL BACTERIA ENDOTOXINS AND STERILITY TEST RESULTS FOR PRODUCT RELEASE, AMONG OTHER RELEASE QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS. ALL THE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED IN 2015 AND 2016, IN PARTICULAR LOT J-2, MANUFACTURED IN 07/01/2015, COMPLIED WITH PRODUCT STERILITY ASSURANCE AND PASS ALL THE PRODUCT RELEASE SPECIFICATIONS. PRESENTLY, WE ARE CONDUCTING STERILITY STUDIES FROM NON-COMPROMISE LOT J-2 SUPPLIES (SENT TO LABORATORY TESTING DIRECTLY FROM ORTHOGENRX WAREHOUSE). RESULTS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON (B)(6) 2017. WE WILL ALSO TEST THE REMAINING SAMPLES FROM VITALITY MEDICAL CENTER. RESULTS ARE EXPECTED BY (B)(6) 2017. BASED ON THE DATA EVALUATED AS OF 5JAN2017 (ON ALL THE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED IN 2015 AND 2016) AND THE FACT THAT ALL THE COMPONENTS AND MANUFACTURING IN-PROCESS CONTROLS COMPLIED WITH THE ENDOTOXINS AND THE STERILITY TESTING AND THAT PRODUCTS PASSED ALL THE PRODUCT RELEASE SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, ORTHOGENRX CONCLUDES THAT GENVISC 850 LOT J-2, MANUFACTURED IN 07/01/2015, CONFORMS WITH THE STERILITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM.
