3 Introduction Pharmacy is the health profession that links health science with chemical science, and it is charged with ensuring the safe use of medication. Pharmacies: Compound and dispense medication in accordance with physician s instructions. Provide patient care services including reviewing medications and providing drug use information.

4 Introduction Prescription Administration Order to Nurses Order to Pharmacy Preparation of Worksheets/labels Preparation of drugs

5 Introduction Pharmacy compounding is the practice of preparing drugs in new forms and is one of the pillars of new drug development. Physicians often prescribe compounded medicines for patients with unique health needs, because they are able to tailor a prescription to each individual patient and best meet their needs.

6 Introduction Compounding is indispensable in the following situations: Patients requiring limited dosage strengths and dosage forms (e.g., infants) Patients with drugs allergies to certain ingredients Veterinary medicine Pediatrics (e.g., making a medicine more palatable to children with flavor additives) Home health care

7 Introduction Brutal incidents involving pharmacy compounding: Georgia, USA, March patients hospitalized-severe adverse reactions Ingested a compounded thyroid medication 1,000 times ordered dose Florida, USA, July 2001 Aerosol medications contaminated and have little or no active ingredient, 3 patients died Pharmacists and others convicted of defrauding Medicare North & South Carolina, USA, September patient died & 3 suffer adverse event of fungal meningitis Source contaminated Methylprednisolone These incidents were an alarm for pharmacies to re-evaluate present practices and controls.

8 Introduction A compounded sterile preparation (CSP) is a dosage unit with any of the following characteristics: Preparations prepared according to the manufacturer's labeled instructions. Preparations containing non-sterile ingredients/ components/ devices that need to be sterilized before use. U.S Pharmacopoeia (USP) is a private organization formed in Current members include: Accredited schools of medicine and pharmacy State medical and pharmacy associations Government agencies, consumer organizations and others

9 Introduction USP <797>, enacted Jan 1, 2004 was written to improve the compounding of sterile products. It is the first official and enforceable requirement for CSPs The Chapter s requirements are applicable in all practice settings where sterile preparations are compounded By setting standards, requirements, and procedures for CSPs, USP <797> reduces the potential for contamination caused by environmental contamination, pharmacist error, lack of quality assurance, incorrect beyond-use dating, and other factors.

10 Introduction Specific issues USP <797> addresses: The responsibility of compounding personnel to ensure that CSPs are prepared, stored, dispensed, and distributed safely Contamination risk levels Procedures to verify the accuracy and sterility of CSPs Personnel training and evaluation Verification of Automated Compounding Devices (ACDs) Environmental quality and control

11 Clean Air Devices and Isolators USP <797> engineering control requirements: Laminar flow or biological safety cabinet in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom An isolator with work zone cleanliness of ISO Class 5 (cleanroom not required)

39 Esco Hospital Pharmacy Isolator Factory Testing and Validation Product Ingress and Egress Tests determines if the isolator work zone can maintain ISO Class 3 during transfer procedures Recovery Time Test determines the amount of time the main chamber takes to recover to ISO Class 4 in the event of a contamination event Breach Test verifies product protection in case of a glove failure. Operator Comfort Tests include noise, light and vibration.

40 Isolator Operating Protocol Basic Laboratory Practice Wear gloves: regular changing of gloves, double glove Wear gowns: vinyl coating, polyethylene coating recommended Wear masks: N-95 mask when compounding Shoe cover and hair cover Wash hands regularly Cleaning and Disinfection Cleaning and disinfecting the isolator at the beginning of each shift Cleaning and sanitizing the interior of the isolator between CSPs to avoid cross contamination Cleaning the background environment

41 Isolator Operating Protocol Tools for Cleaning and Disinfection Wipers and Mops Polyester knit fabrics used for wipers and mop covers will not contaminate isolator. They are the best choice for non-linting and non-shedding materials. Wipers can be wetted with: Detergents to clean/disinfect the isolator Deionized water or 70% IPA to remove residual cleaning agents / disinfectants

42 Isolator Operating Protocol Isolator Cleaning and Disinfection Cleaning Remove any residues and soils produced from the prior shift s activity using small flat surface mops, wipers, swabs and detergents Rinsing Following Cleaning After cleaning, detergent residues are removed from the surfaces with wipers or mops that have been wetted with sterile deionized water or sterile 70% IPA Disinfection The same procedures are followed for disinfection, except that liquid disinfecting agents are substituted for detergents i.e. quaternary ammonium compounds ( quats )

43 Isolator Operating Protocol Isolator Cleaning and Disinfection Rinsing Following Disinfection After disinfection, disinfecting agent residues are removed from the surfaces with wipers or mops that have been wetted with sterile deionized water or sterile 70% IPA Gaseous Sterilization If required, the isolator can be sterilized with a suitable sterilant such as Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) Cleaning and Disinfection Between CSPs Wipe the work surface of the isolator with 70% IPA Pre-wetted wipers may be used, if available Gloved hands should be wiped to prevent cross contamination

44 Isolator Operating Protocol Pre-Compounding Procedures Verify the isolator was shut down by the previous user. The following record keeping processes can be utilized: Check list Sign-off PC log Tagging Check the gloves for any breach before starting because gloves are prone to wear. Wipe down the interior of the isolator.

45 Isolator Operating Protocol Aseptic Compounding Process Proper planning before the materials are placed into the isolator. Organize the necessary materials for compounding and placing them in the pass-thru. Wipe down surfaces of items. Allow pass-thru air to purge before the inner side door is opened. In order to maintain air cleanliness inside the chamber, the two doors should not be opened at the same time. Place items in the work zone and wipe down. Verify all items required for the compounding session are in the work zone.

46 Isolator Operating Protocol Aseptic Compounding Process Use proper aseptic technique. Discard sharps in an approved sharp container after use. Remove completed products via the pass-thru. Label products before logging and delivery to patients. Compounding session is complete. Post-Compounding Procedures Thoroughly sanitize the interior (refer to cleaning procedures) in order to prevent residual compounds from contaminating the next process. Shut down the isolator if desired.
