18 Hand hygiene is paramount to safety when preparing medications! ClinicalIQ Content Copyright ClinicalIQ, LLC - all rights reserved
19 Hand Hygiene Hand washing is defined as the vigorous, brief (30 seconds) rubbing together of all surfaces of lathered hands, followed by rinsing under a stream of water. Hand washing suspends microorganisms and mechanically removes them by rinsing with water. Single most important way to reduce the risks of transmitting germs Even after using anti-microbial soap, there is still about 20,000 microbes per sq. mm ClinicalIQ Content Copyright ClinicalIQ, LLC - all rights reserved

31 Decontamination/Disinfection Transfer of material into and out of the primary engineering controls is one of the greatest potential sources of contamination. Routes include bags, boxes, paper and markers Research has shown that: 60% of consumables are contaminated with bacteria 40% of consumables are contaminated with bacterial spores Spraying alone is not enough Organism Spray Spray + Wipe Aspergillus Niger 84% 98.5% Bacillus subtilis 27% 94% M.

33 Environmental Sampling Environmental Sampling section has been separated into a facility-related performance metric and a personnel related performance metric Facility-related Environmental Sampling Viable air sampling via volumetric method (impaction) to occur at least every 6 months Personnel-related Environmental Sampling Personnel fingertip sampling during initial training, with media fills and as a competency assessment tool Surface sampling for viable microorganisms
34 General Environmental Sampling Shalls Detailed written PnP on all aspects of environmental sampling Sampling occurs in all ISO areas from cleanest to dirtiest ISO 5 ISO 7 ISO 8 CFU Action Levels established Table 2 in Chapter <797> Volumetric Classification Air Sample Required* ISO Class 5 > 1 ISO Class 7 > 10 ISO Class 8 > 100 Evidence of logical plan of action in the event sampling exceeds Action Levels CFU/m 3 air/plate(1000 liters) If < 1000 liters air sampled, convert to equivalent AL (e.g., 400 liter sample in ISO Class 7 then AL = >4 CFU/plate)
35 Growth Media Soybean Casein Digest Media (Trypticase Soy Broth/Agar) to support the growth of bacteria Malt Extract Agar or other media that supports the growth of fungi Must use plates with lecithin and polysorbate 80 which are chemicals that neutralize cleaning agents when performing: Surface sampling Personnel glove sampling associated with MFUs
36 Sampling for Air Viable Organisms Volumetric air sampling is required Predefined amounts of air Settling Plates cannot be the only method of evaluating air viable organisms Not qualitative Settling of particles influenced by size of particle and air movement Courtesy of MSI, Inc. Houston, TX (
37 Environmental Sampling Designed to demonstrate that the primary and secondary engineering controls, disinfecting procedures, and work practices result in a suitable environment for aseptic compounding Utilizes several approaches to assess and evaluate: Total particle counts Air viable organism cfu Surface viable organism cfu Finger touch plates ClinicalIQ Content Copyright ClinicalIQ, LLC - all rights reserved
38 What is the difference between cleaning, sanitization and disinfection? Cleaning Cleaning is the removal of visible soil (e.g., organic and inorganic material) from objects and surfaces and normally is accomplished manually or mechanically using water with detergents or enzymatic products. Sanitizing Chemical process of reducing the number of disease-causing germs on cleaned surfaces to a safe level. Disinfecting Disinfection describes a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores, on inanimate objects. ClinicalIQ Content Copyright ClinicalIQ, LLC - all rights reserved
39 Cleaning and Disinfection Routine cleaning & disinfection decreases the overall bioburden in the compounding area therefore reducing the risk of contamination to CSPs. It is one part of an overall quality management plan. Other components include: Design/function of primary and secondary engineering controls Material/component handling procedures Personnel hand hygiene and garbing Environmental sampling/testing Images courtesy ClinicalIQ, LLC.

41 Considerations for Training Program Any new sterile compounding standard changes ingrained behavior Research shows that training plays a big role in changing ingrained behaviors, particularly if new practices are different from what people know from the their experience Some compounding processes have critical steps or precise order. Training does two things: explain why it needs to be done correctly (rationale), and how to do it (process) ClinicalIQ Content Copyright ClinicalIQ, LLC - all rights reserved
42 Standard Operating Procedures Requires formalized policies, processes and procedures used in preparing CSPs One element of quality that may not be routinely performed in pharmacies is documentation, or written proof that compounding occurring properly ClinicalIQ Content Copyright ClinicalIQ, LLC - all rights reserved
43 Understanding all of the elements Risk Level Beyond-Use Dating (point in time) Chemical Stability Microbial Stability Aseptic technique ASSUMPTION! CSP is stored at its optimal temperature at all times. Due to the inherent low probability that a Sterility Test can detect low levels of contamination in a batch, sterility assurance must always be based on process design and control.

45 Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle
