Current growth-based sterility tests typically require a 14-day incubation. However, for drug products with a short-shelf life or those that are prepared for immediate use-such as compounded sterile preparations, positron emission tomographic (PET) products, and cell and gene therapies due to the turn around time of the compendial tests, the results may not be completed before the drug must be administered.
Patient safety is best served through the completion of a test that detects microbial contamination prior to use. Suitable sterility tests should be risk-based so the stakeholder can select the preferred technology for its intended use, and balance competing user requirement specifications (URS) including time to result, specificity, limit of detection, sample size, and product attributes.
