Annex B has a comprehensive list of the different removal techniques that can
be employed and alternatives for samples where removal of microorganisms
by elution is not used.
Annex C has a more in-depth explanation of the validation of the repetitive
recovery and product inoculation methods.

13. Chapter 9: Environmental Monitoring
ORS microbiologists may be required to assist CSOs during on-site
inspections of pharmaceutical facilities to perform environmental monitoring
(EM) sampling of those facilities to assess the microbiological bioburden of
critical surfaces. This chapter describes a suggested procedure for conducting
this activity. This should only serve as a guide with some modifications
depending on the specific facility or special instructions from ORS
Headquarters. Be sure to confirm with ORS Headquarters which ORS
laboratory was designated to receive the EM samples. These procedures allow
for a qualitative and quantitative assessment of environmental monitoring
samples for the microbial presence in critical processing or laboratory area(s)
being monitored.
A. Materials/Equipment
1. Sampling Materials (Disinfect all materials being brought into the
ante-room, cleanroom, or area designated for
compounding/processing by the firm.)
a. Sterile polyester or cotton swab with a sterile transport media
solution.
b. Sterile sponge with detachable handle
c. *Hycheck or equivalent surface samplers
d. *RODAC/contact plates (Replicate Organism Detection And
Counting)
*Use media containing lecithin and tween neutralizers
