Verified)
• non sterile compounding examples -✓✓products used orally, topically
on skin or to fill gaps when not commercially available
• aesptic -✓✓state of being free from microbial contamination
• sterile compounded items -✓✓injections(iv, etc) ophthalmic drops,
aqueous bronchial or nasal inhalations, baths for live organs, tissue
implants, irrigation for wounds or cavities
• Non hazardous hoods -✓✓Laminar airflow workbench (LAFW)
compounding containment isolator (CAI)
• Hazardous hoods -✓✓biological safety cabinet (BSC) compounding
aseptic containment isolator (CACI)
• Primary Engineering Control (PEC) -✓✓a device or room that
provides an ISO Class 5 environment for the exposure of critical sites
when compounding CSPs. Such devices include, but may not be limited
to, laminar airflow workbenches (LAFWs), biological safety cabinets
(BSCs), compounding aseptic isolators (CAIs), and compounding
aseptic containment isolators (CACIs).
• secondary engineering controls -✓✓the ante area and buffer area
• Buffer or Clean Room -✓✓ISO 7
• Ante Room ISO class -✓✓ISO 8, unless provides access to negative
pressure room then ISO 7
, • vertical hood -✓✓hazardous compounding-air flows vertically
• Horizontal Hood -✓✓air flows horizontally across the work area from
back to front
• Direct Compounding Area (DCA) -✓✓- a critical area within the hood
(ISO Class 5) where areas are exposed to filtered air; also known as
"first air"
• Negative Pressure room -✓✓Hazardous materials
• High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters -✓✓remove microbes >
0.3 micrometers
• Ante Room -✓✓washing, garbing, product decontamination
• Buffer area air change per hour (APCH) -✓✓30 exchanges per hour
• ante room air change per hour (APCH) -✓✓ISO 8-20 per hour ISO 7-
30 per hour
• Cleaning of compounding area -✓✓germicidal detergent & water for
visible solids, 70% isopropyl alcohol
• ISO Class 5 PEC cleaned -✓✓beginning of each shift, before each
batch, every 30 minus when compounding, after spills, contamination
• Cleaning of Counters and floors of specific sites -✓✓daily
• Cleaning Walls, ceilings, storage shelving: -✓✓monthly
