FDA Warning Letter to Lost Mountain Tissue Bank
This is not the first time Lost Mountain Tissue Bank has had issues regarding the safety of the tissues it was selling for implantation. In 2003, during an inspection of Lost Mountain Tissue Bank of Kennesaw, Georgia, the FDA documented significant deviations of the federal regulations for human tissue intended for transplantation, as set forth in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR) Part 1270. According to an FDA warning letter, the deviations included:
Failure to prepare, validate, and follow written procedures for prevention of infectious disease contamination or cross-contamination by tissue during processing [21 CFR 1270.31(d)], in that:
a. Your firm does not have any documentation of validation of your firm's human tissue processing procedures . . . .
b. Your firm routinely reworks tissue products in order to extend the expiration date without validated written procedures for the reworking of human tissue products.
According to federal regulations [21 CFR 1270.21], the infectious diseases human tissue processors must test for are HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and syphilis.
The records indicate the company corrected the 2003 problems to the agency's satisfaction.
