7 Environmental Monitoring Air Monitoring Impact Air Sampler USP <797> requires that the number of viable microorganisms in the air environment of the compounding area be evaluated. This test is to be performed at least semi-annually for all risk levels. More frequent sampling will provide earlier detection of loss of environmental control failures. Hardy Diagnostics offers an easy way of accomplishing this using an impact air sampler. Cat. no Impact Air Sampler for Active Air Sampling Spin Air Microbial Sampler This innovative microbiological impact air sampler pulls air in a controlled fashion against the agar plate. The plate rotates during the process to ensure maximum distribution of the microorganism throughout the plate surface. Holds 100mm Petri dishes. The time, airflow, and rotation speed are variable. Carrying case and battery charger included. This unit is computer connectable and bar code compatible. Features Easy to operate Durable Cost effective Holds standard 100mm Petri dish Adjustable-time, air volume, and rotation speeds The unit comes fully calibrated Carrying case and charger included This unit is computer connectable and bar code compatible Each Culture Media for Air Sampling Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) 15x100mm, 10 plates...g60 Malt Extract Agar (MEA)* Selective for yeast and mold. 15x100mm, 10 plates...w Remove cover from sampler. Install plate in its holder and remove lid from plate. Select settings on Spin Air sampler and press start. Once the cycle is complete, replace lid and incubate TSA º C for hours. After 48 hours, count the number of colonies. Incubate *Malt Extract Agar C for 5-7 days. *MEA Agar is recommended only for High Risk Level compounding environments.

12 Sterility Testing - Filtering Sterisart Universal Pump Sterility Testing System The preferred method for sterility testing is the membrane filter method using a closed sterility test system, such as the new disposable sterility test system Sterisart. The Sterisart Universal pump is a peristaltic pump made of stainless steel, and is equipped with appropriate features for attaching a Sterisart sterility test canister. After the Sterisart canisters have been positioned and the sterility test system spike/ needle has been inserted into the sample container, the pump is started. The pump draws liquid from the sample container into the specially designed double tubing, distributing the liquid equally to both Sterisart canisters. Similarly, the pump then flushes the Sterisart canisters with rinse liquid such as Fluid A, (Cat. no. U109). Finally, the pump fills the two Sterisart canisters with culture media, such as Tryptic Soy Broth 100ml, (Cat. no. U46), or Fluid Thioglycollate Medium 100ml, (Cat. no. U47). The Sterisart canisters are then incubated for 14 days. 12 A Culture of Service
