Critical areas are those that are closest to exposed sterile drugs (hood, PEC) and container, are quality must be at least ISO 5.
This means that there are no more than 3,520 particle per cubic meter. Particles are included in this count if they are 0.5 microns (micrometer) or larger

79
Q

Surface Sampling

A

  • goal is 0 CFU; action must be taken if:

Humidity

A
  • check daily

- goal <60%

Q

Cleaning: monthly

A
  • ceiling
  • walls
  • shelving
  • chairs
  • bins
  • carts
84
