Initial testing for personnel, designated person, and personnel with direct oversight of compounders: what do they have to do?
Pass these 3 times sequentially: Media fill test Gloved fingertip and thumb test Have to complete hand hygiene and full garbing procedure after each attempt
36
Key competency areas for personnel
Hand hygiene Garbing Knowledge of compounding technique Proper movement of materials Cleaning and disinfecting Calculations Measuring and mixing Aseptic technique Achieving and maintaining sterility Proper use of equipment Documentation
37
Gloved fingertip and thumb test: initial training
Must be done and passed 3 times before beginning to compound- if one is failed, you have to start over and perform 3 again
38
Purpose of the gloved fingertip and thumb test
Involves checking to ensure personnel maintain aseptic technique during the process
39
When is the gloved fingertip and thumb test done?
After handwashing and garbing
40
What is used for the gloved fingertip and thumb test?
Agar plates, they get incubated after the test
41
When is the media fill test done?
After sterile compounding
42
What's tested in a media fill test?
Aseptic technique, sterility of the environment, transfer of components, equipment handling
43
What's used in a media fill test?
