3 1. About BioBall MultiShot 550 The pharmaceutical industry is required to perform QC with inocula containing less than 100 cfu for several tests including growth promotion, sterility and method validation. Once validated, BioBall may be used as a precise, reliable and cost effective alternative to traditional reference culture methods such as seed lot maintenance systems. BioBall contains a precise number of microorganisms in a water soluble ball delivering unprecedented accuracy for Quantitative Microbiological Quality Control. Lot specific certificates of analysis confirming counts and organism identity are supplied with each lot number. BioBall MultiShot 550 has a batch mean of between 500 and 600 cfu with a standard deviation less than or equal to 10% of the batch mean. When re-hydrated with 1.1mL of re-hydration fluid provides 10 x 100uL doses, each containing 50 cfu. It has an 8 hour stability when re-hydrated with BioBall Re-Hydration Fluid and stored between 2 to 8ºC, making it ideal when several controls are needed at the same time or within the same day. BioBall is available in a wide range of microorganisms, including equivalent strains to those required by the British Pharmacopoeia, (BP), European Pharmacopoeia, (Ph.Eur.), Japanese Pharmacopoeia, (JP) and United States Pharmacopoeia, (USP). BioBall reference strains are recommended by BTF for use as an alternative to traditionally derived reference cultures in the following pharmacopoeial chapters: British Pharmacopoeia & European Pharmacopoeia Appendix XVIA Tests for Sterility, (Ph.Eur 2.6.1) Appendix XVIB Tests for Microbial Contamination, (Ph.Eur , ) United States Pharmacopoeia <61> Microbiological Examination of Non-sterile Products: Microbial enumeration tests <62> Microbiological Examination of Non-sterile Products: Tests for specified Microorganisms <71> Sterility Tests <1227> Validation of Microbial Recovery from Pharmacopoeial Articles <2021> Microbial Enumeration Tests Nutritional and Dietary Supplements <2022> Microbiological Procedures for Absence of Specified Microorganisms Nutritional and Dietary Supplements Japanese Pharmacopoeia 35. Microbial Limit Tests 36. Microbial Limit Test for Crude Drugs 54. Sterility Test All reference strain identifications are confirmed by genetic typing. BTF as a Reference Materials producer is the first company worldwide accredited under the ISO Guide 34 Standard for quantitative microbiologial reference standards, including BioBall. BioBall products have up to 24 months* shelf life when stored frozen. *Depending on the organism. 3

4 2. About this protocol This protocol outlines the process used to demonstrate the suitability of BioBall as a replacement for traditionally derived culture collections. The protocol within is designed to meet the requirements of regulatory bodies, with regards to documentation and traceability of the verification exercise. The verification process involves five main steps; 1. Pre-approval of the verification protocol by quality representatives and personnel executing the protocol, (section 4). 2. Definition of the scope of the verification, including intended location of use and reference strains to be tested, (section 5). 3. Verification of BioBall organism counts, strain purity and 8hr stability at 2-8 C, (section 6). 4. Identification of BioBall organisms, (section 7). 5. Final review and approval of verification protocol, (section 8). Verification is based on adequate recovery of each reference strain grown on culture media petri dishes. Once growth is evident the recovery is enumerated and purity visually confirmed. The organism recovered can then be further identified by traditional methods. Once completed this protocol should be kept on file for future reference. A reference identifier may be entered in the box on the cover of this protocol for ease of reference. 3. Safety precautions BioBall MultiShot 550 contains viable and potentially pathogenic bacteria and should only be handled by experienced laboratory personnel trained in the safe handling of these micro-organisms. The number of micro-organisms contained within BioBall MultiShot 550 is low. However, BioBall MultiShot 550 should be handled as if potentially infectious. Refer to your national safety guidelines. After use, dispose of packaging in accordance with appropriate biohazard disposal practices. Do not use the product if the packaging is damaged. Do not use the product after the expiry date. The product should be used according to the procedure described in this verification protocol. Any modifications may affect the results. 4. Protocol pre-approval Before commencing this protocol, personnel responsible for performing the verification should be nominated and approval should be sought from the companies quality department. This ensures that the content of this document meets any validation policies that may be effective in the intended location of use.
