PRODUCTION UPDATE 10/10/92
From : Lori Ruso
To : All Personnel
Subject : Low Production
Yields
Recent episodes of
wastage of successful live births in the
period 24-72 hours post-hatching have been
traced to contamination from
Escherichia
coli
bacteria. These have cut production yields
by 60%, and arise from inadequate sterile
precautions by floor personnel,
principally during Process H (Egg
Maintenance Phase, Hormone Enhancement
2G/H).
Komera swing arms
have been replaced and re-sleeved on
robots 5A and 7D, but needle replacement
must still be done daily in accordance
with sterile conditions (General Manual:
Guideline 5-9).
During the next
production cycle (10/12-10/26) we will
sacrifice every tenth egg at H Step to
test for contamination. Begin set-asides
at once. Report all errors. Stop the line
whenever necessary until this is cleared
up.
