Study Notes

Sterile Compounding Guidelines

  • USP 797 outlines the guidelines for sterile compounding.

Medications Requiring Sterile Preparation

  • Include ophthalmics, inhalations, tissue soaks for organ transplants, implants, irrigations, and IV medications.

Compounding Facility Layout

  • Ante room: Area for hand washing and garbing, typically features a sink.
  • Buffer area: A cleanroom where sterile compounding is carried out.

Safety Equipment

  • Biological Safety Cabinet: A hood used for low, medium, and high-risk compounding, located in the cleanroom.

Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSP)

  • Refers to the drug being prepared in a sterile manner.

Garb Requirements

  • Protective gear essential for compliance in the cleanroom, donned in the ante room.

Hazardous Drugs

  • Drugs that can cause cell death, prominently chemotherapy agents.

Air Pressure Control

  • Positive pressure prevents contamination by keeping external air out; used primarily for sterile drug preparations.
  • Negative pressure is utilized for hazardous drugs to contain contaminated air away from staff and exhaust outside.

ISO Classification

  • System defines the number of particles permitted per volume of air; lower numbers indicate cleaner air.
  • ISO classifications:
    • Primary Engineering Controls (PECs) require ISO 5.
    • Buffer area classified as ISO 7.
    • Ante area classified as ISO 8 (ISO 7 if adjacent to a negative pressure cleanroom).

Primary Engineering Control (PEC)

  • Isolator device or room providing an ISO class 5 area for compounding CSPs ensuring high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration.

HEPA Filters

  • Capable of removing over 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, facilitating unidirectional airflow to safeguard compounding integrity.

CSP Risk Levels

  • Determined by contamination risk, location, preparation complexity, storage temp:
    • Classifications: low, low with 12-hour BUD, medium, high, and immediate use.

Immediate Use CSPs

  • Prepared for emergency use only within one hour and must be compounded in a clean area.

Low Risk CSPs

  • Require ISO class 5 environment within ISO 7 buffer and ISO 8 ante room.
  • BUD: 48 hours at room temp, 14 days in the fridge, 45 days frozen.

Low Risk with Short BUD

  • Allows compounding outside the hood in a segregated area; max BUD is 12 hours.

Medium Risk CSPs

  • Involves complex manipulations requiring the same environmental controls as low risk.
  • BUD: 30 hours at room temp, 9 days in the fridge, 45 days frozen.

High Risk CSPs

  • Involves nonsterile ingredients, needing strict environmental classifications.
  • BUD: 24 hours at room temp, 3 days in the fridge, 45 days frozen.

BUD Significance

  • Indicates the date/time beyond which CSPs should not be used.

Labeling Requirements for CSPs

  • Minimum label must include generic name, concentration, route, administration rate, handling instructions, preparation date, BUD, compounding personnel name/initials, and auxiliary labels.

Additional Label Requirements for Chemotherapy

  • Labels must note disposal instructions for chemotherapy agents, emphasizing proper disposal methods.
