The Sterile Environment Pt 3 Flashcards
What does ACPH mean?
Air changes per hour
The ____ area is a International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Class 8 area where personal hand hygiene, garbing, and staging of components, order entry, labeling, and high particulate activities are performed before entering the buffer area
ante area
The ____ cabinet (BSC) is a Special hood where air flows downward through a HEPA filter; used for chemotherapy preparation
Biological safety cabinet (BSC)
A ____ area is a ISO Class 7 area where LAFW or other PECs are physically located and aseptic manipulations of compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) occur
Buffer area
What does CACI & CAI mean?
Compounding aseptic isolator or compounding aseptic containment isolator
The ____ area is the ISO Class 5 environment where aseptic manipulations take place
Critical area
A Critical ____ is an area to never touch (such as needle tips, tops of vials, and syringe plunger) to avoid cross-contamination during aseptic manipulations
Critical site
____ air is direct flow of air exiting the HEPA filter inside the PEC, which should never be interrupted and is essentially particle-free
First air
A ____-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter is a special filter used in the LAFW designed to remove 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger. This creates a bacteria-free environment in which to perform aseptic technique manipulations.
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter
A ____ Barrier system (RABS) is a ISO class 7 or higher area that uses glove ports to separate the surrounding areas to allow aseptic manipulations to take place inside
Restricted Access Barrier system (RABS)
____ soy agar (TSA) is a general microbiologic growth medium that supports bacterial and fungi growth used to perform sampling
Trypticase soy agar (TSA)
