Lecture 6: USP 800 Flashcards
Hazardous drug exposure
High risk due to repeated exposure
Studies show fertility impairment/ increased risk of cancers due to occupational exposure to HDs (chronic)
Acute AE = rashes
National Institute for Occupational safety and health (NIOSH)
OSHA established this as a research agency focused on focused on the study of worker safety and health
Mission of NIOSH
to develop new knowledge in the field of occupational safety and health to transfer the knowledge into practice
NIOSH list
list of antineoplastics and other HD
NIOSH considers drug to be hazardous if:
it exhibits 1 or more of the following characteristics in humans/animals:
- carinogenicity
- teratogenicity/developmental toxicity
- reproductive toxicity
- organ toxicity at low doses
- genotoxicity
- structure/toxicity profiles mimic existing HD
NIOSH table 1
Meet NIOSH definition of HD + manufactures special handling info (MSHI) +/- classified “known to be human carcinogen”
NIOSH table 2
Meet NIOSH definition of HD but DOES NOT HAVE MSHI AND NOT classified “known to be human carcinogen”
Actual risk of HD is determined by
Toxicity of drug
how enter body
how handled
USP 800 protects who?
healthcare workers
USP 797 and 795 protects who?
patient
Nonsterile HD covered by
USP 795 and 800
Sterile HD covered by
USP 797 and 800
USP 800 only applicable when
practitioner is engaged in compounding (as defined by 797/795)
List of NIOSH drug
must be maintained by an entity
NIOSH drug list must be reviewed
every 12 months
and when a new agent/dosage form is used
An entity must handle all NIOSH list drugs as hazardous UNLESS
assessment of risk performed
- type of HD, dosage form, risk of exposure
- packaging, manipulation
Must document alternative containment strategy
= reviewed and documented every 12 months
Containment PEC
ventilated device designed to minimize exposure
Selection of type of Containment PEC depends on
Type of compounding (sterile/nonsterile)
Type of SEC
Types of Containment PEC
Containment ventilated enclosure (CVE)
Biological safety cabinet (BSC)
Compounding aseptic containment isolator (CACI)
What type of containment PEC do you use for sterile HDs?
Compounding aseptic containment isolator (CACI)
What type of LAFW is used for HD?
Vertical airflow
Containment SEC (the room) must be
Externally ventilated
physically separated
have appropriate air exchange
have negative pressure (0.01 – 0.03) inches of water column relative to all adjacent areas
(air flows from anteroom (lower pressure) into cleanroom)
