Cell Therapy Technical Dossier

Intended Use Saint-Gobain VueLife® FEP bags are intended to be used for the processing of cells (e.g. sorting, transfer, culture, expansion, modification) stemming from tissues, blood, blood components and cord blood, as part of cell therapy products development and manufacturing stages. Saint-Gobain KryoSure® FEP Bags are intended to be used for the storage, preservation (including cryopreservation) and transportation of cell therapy medicinal products. VueLife® and KryoSure® FEP bags are made using USP Class VI fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) film. With high oxygen permeability and low water vapor permeability coupled with a broad continuous service temperature range, FEP is an ideal material choice for a wide array of applications in cell culture and cryopreservation. The FEP film and ports used in the bags are certified to be free of animal-derived components. Table 2: FEP Film Permeability Properties

Chemical Compatibility Saint-Gobain has performed targeted chemical testing with common end use chemicals and the FEP resin used in the manufacturing of the film. The method employed was a soak test over 72 hours at room temperature to determine weight change. The following chemicals were used:

100% DMSO

10% DMSO

70% IPA

35% H2O2

The results indicated that there was no change in weight over time and FEP is compatible with the above chemicals. In addition, it commonly understood that FEP is resistant to all common solvents and chemicals excluding molten alkali metals, gaseous fluorine and halogenated compounds. Saint-Gobain recommends that the end user perform feasibility and compatibility assessments on the interaction of their processing chemicals with VueLife® and KryoSure® Bags.

Precautions

VueLife® Culture Bags are provided sterile. Provided that the integrity of the package is not compromised

in any way for sterile VueLife® Culture Bags, the packaging will serve as an effective sterile barrier until

the expiration date shown on the label. If the packaging is damaged or compromised, the VueLife®

Culture Bags should not be used.

VueLife® Culture Bags are designed for single use only, do not reuse the device.

VueLife® Culture Bags are equally gas permeable on top and bottom. Therefore, efforts should be made

to ensure that neither side is obstructed from gas flow.

When storing on incubator shelves, ensure there is separation between the bag and shelf to allow for

adequate permeation of gases.

Centrifugation of the bags is not recommended.

Cryopreservation can only be utilized with KryoSure® FEP bags.

Manufacturing Process VueLife® and KryoSure® FEP Bags The manufacturing process begins with a proprietary laser welding process. Prior to the film being placed on the laser welder, there is a particulate removal step on each side of the film. The laser welder brings the FEP film to its melting point which creates a bond between two layers of FEP film. From welding, the product is subjected to an initial trim of excess material and 100% visual inspection where product is accepted or rejected based on the level of particulate identified. In-process product is then transferred to laser trim and engrave were the additional excess FEP is removed and the bag is in its final form. At this step, the product is also engraved with the lot number, part number and Saint-Gobain logo (where applicable). Following laser trim and engrave, product is inspected and any FEP dust is removed from the exterior of the bag. In-process product is then transferred to collar seal and pressure test. During this operation a pre-determined size port is sealed into an opening of the of the FEP bag. Product is then 100% pressure tested at 5 psi for 60 seconds to detect leaks around welds and collar seals. Custom assemblies are attached to the bag if applicable. In-process product then moves to clean and pack where it is cleaned and placed into an autoclavable pouch. During this operation the autoclave pouch is stamped with the lot, part number, and date of expiration. Product then goes to macro inspection where an AQL sampling is performed followed by sealing of the autoclave pouches. Product is then subjected to moist heat steam sterilization (if product is sterile) followed by a 100% visual inspection to ensure product integrity has been maintained and the indicator has turned brown on the autoclave pouch. Product is then bundled and sealed in a non-sterile barrier polybag and labeled. The images below are examples of the process flow and finished product label.

Cell Therapy Technical Dossier

The acceptable mode of sterilization for the FEP bags is moist-heat steam sterilization. Sterilization activities are performed on location in one of two identical autoclaves. A contract steam sterilizer is also qualified for business continuity purposes. Details below summarize the sterilization validation activities. Sterilization validation studies including cycle development were performed on the autoclaves. The methodology that was used for this validation was in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1:2006, Annex D: Conservative process definition based on inactivation of reference microorganisms (overkill method). This validation consists of both physical and microbiological qualifications. All outputs of the aforementioned protocol were successfully executed meeting all predefined criteria. Summary data of these outputs is provided in the subsequent pages of this report. The objective of the study was to provide documented evidence that the moist heat steam sterilization process met the requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1:2006, Annex D as well as internal Saint-Gobain requirements. The end result was to ensure Saint-Gobain Gaithersburg’s VueLife® Cell Culture FEP Bags, KryoSure® Cryopreservation FEP Bags, and KryoVue® overwrap pouches FEP Bags and Accessories were appropriately sterilized to meet an SAL10-6 under the cycle used for this validation. The following activities were in scope of the validation:

Steam Quality Testing Bowie-Dick test pack Pre and Post Calibration of Thermocouples Loading of Bags, Thermocouples and BIs. Kaye AVS (data collection system) setup and reports Weighing of Bags Pre and Post moisture retention and material effect cycle BI processing including enumeration

Validation Results Steam quality testing was completed on each autoclave for non-condensable gases, dryness

values and super heat. A Bowie-Dick test pack and cycle was run on each autoclave. All results were passing. Moisture Retention and Material Evaluation was completed and there was no visual evidence of

moisture found and all bags weighed the same or less prior to the sterilization cycle. All product inspected met internal inspection requirements.

All pre cycle calibrations and post cycle verifications were within specification Triplicate sterilization cycles were ran using minimum and maximum loads with biological

indicators (BI) and thermocouples. Positive control BIs were submitted for testing with validation cycle BIs. Enumeration studies

were also performed for each lot of BIs to confirm it contained 1.8x10^6 cfu. All exposed BIs were negative and the positive control and enumeration studies confirmed 1.8x10^6 cfu.

4 Shelf Life and Storage Requirements

Page 22: VueLife® and KryoSure® FEP Bags

(Manual 003, Rev C) Page 22 of 39

Cell Therapy Technical Dossier

Based on information provided by our suppliers, FEP bags are not considered to be temperature sensitive or have special storage conditions. Products awaiting shipment are stored in ambient lighting, temperature and humidity conditions. Ambient storage conditions consist of a cool dry environment away from direct sunlight at 70°F ± 20°F and a relative humidity range from 10% to 70% in original unopened packaging. Given all possible variables have not been examined, it is best practice to store product in its original packaging, protected from known sources of polymer degradation such as temperature, condensing or high humidity, sunlight/fluorescent light/UV, exhaust gases, chemical environment, mechanical stress, etc. Saint-Gobain certifies that the sterile barrier of the FEP bag and the FEP bag weld are stable for 3 years from date of sterilization. FEP bags with treatment are stable for 1 year from date of manufacturing. Ongoing real time aging studies are being performed and final data will be included in this dossier upon completion of those studies.

Cell Therapy Technical Dossier

USP <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Systemic Injection Test The USP <88> Systemic Injection Test assesses the systematic response of the sample extract solution in test animals following intravenous or intraperitoneal injection. Test: Autoclaved samples of VueLife® FEP Bags were tested by NAMSA in accordance with USP 41 NF 36, 2018, General Chapter <88>, Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Systemic Injection Test. The samples were extracted in alcohol in saline, 0.9% sodium chloride (saline), polyethylene glycol and sesame oil. All caps in the packaging and the entire bag were agitated continuously at 70℃ for 24 hours at a surface area to volume ratio of 6 cm2/ml. A single dose of each extract was injected systemically into groups of five mice. Similarly, a separate group of five mice were dosed with each corresponding extraction vehicle alone (control). The animals were observed for signs of systemic toxicity immediately after injection and at 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours after injection. Body weights were recorded prior to dosing and on day 3. Results: None of the animals exhibited any signs of systemic toxicity. The VueLife® FEP Bags therefore met the requirements of the USP <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Systemic Injection.

USP <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Intracutaneous Test The USP <88> Intracutaneous Test assesses the potential of the sample extract to cause local irritation following intradermal injection in a live animal. The test animal is monitored for signs of irritation and/or toxicity. Test: Autoclaved samples of VueLife® FEP Bags were tested by NAMSA in accordance with USP 41, NF 36, 2018, General Chapter <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Intracutaneous Test. Samples were extracted with USP 0.9% Sodium Chloride, Sesame Oil, 1 in 20 Alcohol in Saline or Polyethylene Glycol 400 at 70℃ for 24 hours at a test article surface area to extraction vehicle volume ratio of 6 cm2/ml. The test article extracts and corresponding controls were injected intracutaneously into rabbits and the animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours for signs of skin reactivity or toxicity. Results: None of the animals injected intracutaneously with test article extracts exhibited any signs of erythema, edema or clinical toxicity. The test article therefore met the requirements of USP <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Intracutaneous Test.

USP <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Implantation Test The USP <88> Implantation Test assesses the potential of the test article to cause irritation when in direct contact with living tissue. Test: Autoclaved samples of VueLife® FEP bags were tested by NAMSA in accordance with USP 41, NF36, 2018, General Chapter <88> Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo, Implantation Test. Samples were

Page 25: VueLife® and KryoSure® FEP Bags

Cell Therapy Technical Dossier

intramuscularly implanted and animals, monitored for 7 days then euthanized. Muscle tissues were excised and the implant sites examined macroscopically. Results: All animals appeared clinically normal throughout the study. The macroscopic reaction was classified as not significant tissue contact irritation. The implanted test article met the USP <88> Biological Reactivity, in vivo, Implantation Test requirements.

USP <88> Class VI USP Plastic Class VI is one of six designations for plastics from the General Chapter of the United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary (USP-NF) and is a guideline for how to test and certify plastic materials. The Class levels are intended to match with the end use state of the material. Classes IV and VI are specifically for plastics that are intended to be used in an implantable application. If the plastic of interest is not intended to be used as an implantable plastic Class I through III and V are appropriate. Class VI testing includes the testing for all the other classes as well as the implantation test. For a plastic material to meet USP Class VI it is required to be tested for Systemic Injection Test (Section 4.1) using four different extractants (Sodium Chloride, Alcohol Chloride, Polyethylene Glycol and Vegetable Oil), Intracutaneous Injection test (Section 4.2) also using the same four solvents and implantation (Section 4.3). The VueLife® FEP Bag has been tested for Systemic Injection, Intracutaneous Injection, and implantation using all required extractants where specified and meets the criteria for USP <88> Class VI plastic.

ISO 10993-5 Tests for in vitro Cytotoxicity Cytotoxicity testing assesses the potential of a given material to have a toxic effect on living cells. Test: Autoclaved samples of VueLife® FEP Bags were tested by NAMSA in accordance with ISO 10993-5: 2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity. The test article was extracted in single strength Minimum Essential Medium (1X MEM) at 37°C for 72 hours under constant agitation at a surface area to volume ratio of 6cm2/ml. Positive and Negative controls were also extracted at 37℃ for 72 hours at a ratio of 6 and 3 cm2/ml, respectively. Triplicate monolayers of L-929 mouse fibroblast cells were dosed with each extract and incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 48 hours. Cultures were monitored for lysis or toxicity and rated on a scale of 0 (No Biological Reactivity) to 4 (Severe Biological Reactivity)

Results: The test article samples and the negative controls scored a Grade 0 for Biological Reactivity after 48 hours. The positive controls scored a Grade 4 at the 48-hour mark. Samples are deemed to meet the test requirements if they exhibit a Biological Reactivity of no more than Grade 2 (Mild Reactivity). The test articles are therefore considered non-cytotoxic.
