Incubate Soybean-Casein Digest Broth (SCD) at 22.5 ± 2.5 o C. Gentle swirling, on occasion is acceptable to increase aeration of media. c. Incubation period for THIO and SCD: i. Not less than 14 days except for products sterilized using ionizing radiation. If tubes are not read on day 14 due to holiday or weekend then record the results, even if positive, on the first available day to observe the tubes. ii. Additional incubation time may be warranted if the analyst is made aware of sterilization processes other than heat or filtration (e.g. 30 days (at minimum) for products sterilized using ionizing radiation). This is to allow repair of DNA of microorganisms injured by ionizing radiation, if any, that may be present). F. Analysis of Medical Devices (ex. Purified Cotton, Gauze, Sutures and Surgical Dressings) The USP method for analysis of surgical dressing/cotton/gauze (in packages) calls for a minimum quantity of 100 mg, to be tested in each medium. It is recommended that an entire unit shall be tested in each medium for individually packaged single-use articles. 1. Gauze, Purified Cotton, Sutures and Surgical Dressings a. Using media containers as large as quart jars analyze entire unit of product. b. If unit is too large for the container, analyze as much of unit as can be placed in container and covered by the medium. 2. Compositing of Medical Devices a. Devices may be tested in composites (2 – 4 units/composite) as long as they meet the specifications of Chapter 71 of the current USP with regards to minimum quantity of a test unit and minimum number of units to be tested. All composited units must be the same lot number. b. Devices may be composited only if they successfully pass the Method Suitability test. If composited units do not pass Method Suitability test, then the product cannot be composited. G. Control Systems The objective of a control system is to ensure the sterility, within designated limits, of all items, media, rinsing fluids, and equipment used in a sterility test. |
