  2. Exposure underneath work surfce of a C-PEC
  3. Airborne exposure
17
Q

What is a Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTDs)?

A
  1. Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTDs)
  2. prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and the escape of HD or vapor concentrations outside of the system
  3. Limit the potential for generating aersols during compounding
18
Q

Work practices that must be followed when using CSTD?

A
  1. Provides supplemental control for compoudning shall be used inside a C-PEC
  2. Used when compounding HDs when dosage form allows
  3. Used when adminsitering HDs when the dosage form allows
19
Q

What are the safety practices using negative pressure technique?

A
  1. Perform all manipulation of HDs in C-PEC
  2. Observe proper material handling practices before introducing any item into ISO Clss 5 C-PEC
  3. Swab the vital septum with sterile 70% IPA and allow to dry
  4. Perform manipulations in the direct compounding areas that is not obstructive of HEPA filter
  5. Use a syringe that is 25% larger than the total dose
  6. Carefully attach the needle and syringe being careful to avoid touch contamination of either critical site
  7. Draw up the amount of air that is equal to the total dose to be drawn up
  8. Insert the needle into the septum being mindful of the first air coming down from the top of the C-PEC
20
