Sec. 82-521. - Retention samples.
Processors shall retain for a period of at least six months after the expiration date, unless a different time period is specified in additional standards, a quantity of representative material of each lot of each product, sufficient for examination and testing for safety and potency, except whole blood (human), antihemophilic plasma (human), cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor (human), red blood cells (human), single-donor plasma (human), source plasma (human), normal human plasma and allergenic products prepared to physician's prescription. Samples so retained shall be selected at random from either final container material or from bulk and final containers, provided they include at least one final container as a final package, or package-equivalent of such filling of each lot of the product as intended for distribution. Such sample material shall be stored at temperatures and under conditions which will maintain the identity and integrity of the product. Samples retained as required in this section shall be in addition to samples of specific products required to be submitted to the department of health. Exceptions may be authorized by the director when the lot yields relatively few final containers and when such lots are prepared by the same method in large number and in close succession.
