International Organization of Standards - defines the level of airborne particulate cleanliness in terms of ISO class number
14
Q
ISO classifications
A
- particulates classified more than 0.5 micro meters in diameter - maximum number of particles per cubic meter - important because bacteria are unable to change locations on their own - transported on particles in the air - limit particles in the air ( on particulates) or on surfaces; bacteria should also be limited

25
sterile non-hazardous/hazardous postive or negative pressure?
positive - non hazardous negative - hazardous
26
buffer room
the room that contains the PEC and connects to an ante room. Buffer room design requirements are the same as the ante room except there should be no sources of running water or floor drains.
27
segregated compounding area
non-classified space or room equipped with a PEC of ISO Class 5. SCAs should be away from the unsealed windows, doors that connect to the outdoors, and significant traffic flow. They can not be located adjacent to construction sites, warehouses, food preparation areas, and other environmental issues.
28
Primary Engineering Controls
ISO 5 stands for “Primary Engineering Control” and is a general term for anything that provides an ISO Class 5 environment. They must contain a HEPA filter and can have vertical or horizontal airflow. It is KEY that when the smoke study is done on a PEC that there are no swirls in the smoke.
29
the _____ HEPA filtered airflow in the PEC must provide \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
unidirectional; sufficient velocity to sweep particles away from the direct compounding area during compounding activities
30
how do you demonstrate the unidirectional airflow?
smoke studies
31
CAI
portable PEC for non-hazardous compounding. It does not have to be in a buffer room but it needs to have a guarantee from the manufacturer.
32
if isolators placed outside of ISO 7 area
must have documentation from manufacturer
33
power and utility interuptions
facility's emergency management plan should include steps to meet patient care needs
34
containment isolator
nothing in there can escape - used for chemo
35
access to the clean room
should be restricted to qualified personnel with specific responsibilities or assigned tasks in the area- traffic flow in and out of the area should be minimized and no one enters without proper garbing
36
items not brought into the sterile compounding area
nothing that is not brand new or nothing not sterilized
37
excluded from the sterile compounding area if you are experiencing
CANNOT go in if you are sick or experiencing any of the following: - rash - sunburn - weeping sores - conjunctives - active respiratory infections
38
how long to wash hands
at least 30 seconds, use of scrub brushes or hand dryer not recommended - sinks have no handles and only foot peddles
39
order of garbing
ante room- First you remove all jewelry from your body besides glasses if you need them to see. Next you begin with the feet, then the hair (including beard cover if needed), then the face mask. Next you wash your hands the proper way DO NOT USE A SCRUB BRUSH! Put on your gown and without any gloves on your hands walk backwards into the buffer room using your back to push the door. dirtiest to cleanest - 1. shoe covering 2. hair net
40
aseptic technique
using practices and procedures to prevent contamination from pathogens and risk of infection
41
critical site
tip of syringe- any place at risk of direct contact with air - not a perfect seal
42
direct compounding area
where compounding is done
43
first air
air coming out of the HEPA filter
44
order of cleaning and disinfecting the laminar airflow workbench

45
never measure less than ___ of the volume of the syringe
20%
46
critical sites on the needle
everything is a critical site
47
supplies brought into sterile compounding area from shipping carton
sprayed or wiped with sterile 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
48
supplies brought into sterile compounding area from sterile supplies received in sealed pouches
- remove from pouch as introduced to PEC - do not need to disinfect individual sterile item - cover protects sterile bag and decreases evaporation - sometimes you can see condensation inside the cover
49
placement of supplies in the laminar airflow workbench
- place 3 in from the back and side walls of the LAFW - place at least 6 inches from the front edge of LAFW. front 6 inches is unsafe area and must discard uncovered sterile products if it goes in this area - do not block first air - critical sites should receive first air - maintain clear direct compounding area (DCA)
50
when laminar airflow is accessible to all sides of an object, zone of turbulence extends to ___ times the diameter of the object
3
51
when laminar airflow is not accessible to all sides of an object, zone of turbulence extends to ___ times the diameter of the object
6
52
how to remove fluid from a vial
- swab vial septum with 70% IPA and allow to dry - draw a volume of air equal to volume of fluid to be removed into a syringe - position needle at a 45 degree angle on vial with bevel up - while pushing the needle through the stopper reposition at a 90 degree angle and invert and inject air into vial - withdraw desired volume (tapping out bubbles and readjusting volume
53
single dose- container
open or needle-punctured single-dose containers shall be used. - NEVER if opened outside an ISO class 5 area and any remaining fluid discarded - within 6 hrs if opened in a ISO 5 area

garb, non-pharmaceutical waste
58
rationale for TPN
nutritional support for patients unable to take medications enterally - severe pancreatitis, short-bowl syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease - infant with very low birth weight - patients with cancer receiving hematopoietic cell never a medical emergency pharmacists need to monitor over-use of short-term TPN
59
peripheral TPN
short-term only (10-14 days) must be aware of excessive osmolarity to avoid phlebitis
60
Central TPN
administered via catheter directly into the superior vena cava - allows for greater osmolarity central venous line, hickman, medi port, PICC
61
TPN Lipids
"emulsified fatty acids" - can be separate bottle or mixed in with AA and dextrose (3 to 1) 10% is 1.1 kcal / mL 20% kcal / mL
62
TPN Amino Acids
provides protein content for TPN available as 8.4% and 10% solutions 4 kcal/g can be weight basis g/kg/day buffers the acidity of dextrose some preps also have phosphorous
63
24 hour urinary urea nitrogen
protein g needed = (UNN + 4) x 6.25
64
TPN dextrose
source of carbs for TPN stock solution of 50% or 70% is often used 3.4 kcal/g slightly acidic molecule (pKa 12) never mix dextrose solution with lipids alone - amino acids buffer and crack the emulsion bc acid and base
65
TPN additives
electrolytes, vitamins, trace elements, pepsid (ulcers), insulin
66
total fluid volume formula
1500 + ((wt in kg - 20) x 20) = mL for 24 hours must add sterile water for this injection to the TPN
67
basal energy expenditure for females
655.1 + (9.56xW) + (1.85 x H) - (4.68 x age)
68
basal energy expenditure for males
66.47 + (13.75xW) + (5 x H) - (6.76 x age)
69
BEE adjusted for activity and stress factors
activity - 1 to 1.3 stress - 1.2 to 2.1
70
TPN compounding considerations must:
- adhere to aseptic technique - be able to perform unit version - be aware of peripheral vs central admin - pay attention to stability considerations - triple check calcium and phosphate
71
calcium and phosphate in TPN
- both required electrolytes for nutritional supplementation - calcium is recommended to be given as the gluconate salt - phosphate can be admin as sodium or phosphate salts - ca and PO can form 2 different types of salts with one another depending on pH amino acid solutions can help to bind or chelate the calcium so that it is not able to complex with phosphate
72
calcium and phosphate mixing considerations
- compatibility must be considered at the time of mixing, not based on final volume - addd phosphorous first, calcium last - EFA may mask a precipitate if it should form - higher AA conc lower pH may enhance solubility - avoid CaCl as the source for Ca - routinely agitate the bag to disperse contents and check for particulate matter
73
Compatibility rules of thumb
calcium should be no greater than 1:2 ratio with phosphate - total mEq should not exceed 45 mEq/L at the time of mixing mmol = mEq
74
asceptic processing
A mode of processing pharmaceutical and medical products that involves the separate sterilization of the product and of the package (containers--closures or packaging material for medical devices) and the transfer of the product into the container and its closure under at least ISO Class 5 conditions
75
preperation
Also called a CSP; a sterile drug or nutrient compounded in a licensed pharmacy or other healthcare-related facility pursuant to the order of a licensed prescriber; the article may or may not contain sterile products
76
product
A commercially manufactured sterile drug or nutrient that has been evaluated for safety and efficacy by the FDA. Products are accompanied by full prescribing information, which is commonly known as the FDA-approved manufacturer's labeling or product package insert.
77
CSP and examples
compounded sterile product or preparation. Dosage forms that must comply with USP Chapter \<797\> include: aqueous bronchial and nasal inhalation, Baths and soaks for live organs and tissues, Injections (e.g. colloidal dispersions, emulsions, solutions, suspensions), Irrigations for wounds and body cavities, Ophthalmic drops and ointments, Tissue implants
78
inside the primary engineering control (PEC) air must be iso 5 which means
no more than 3,520 particles per m^3
79
how many particles in the buffer room
325,000 per m3
80
particles in ante room if connected hazardous compounding room
has to be iso 7 - so 325000 particles per m3
81
iso 8 ante room can have ___ particles
3,250,000 particles per m3 because the air will not flow into the buffer room, therefore does not have to be as clean
82
activities that occur in the buffer room
Application of waterless alcohol-based surgical hand scrub Donning of sterile gloves Actual compounding activities
83
CACI
hazardous portable PEC. Biological Safety Cabinet is a non-portable compounding area for hazardous compounding.
84
LAFW
laminar airflow workbench and is the standard for non-hazardous sterile compounding (this is what we have in the labs at school).
85
standard operating procedures used to stock clean room
A systematic process of entering and exiting the clean room must be done to minimize contamination. Food, drinks, and gum are prohibited. Shedding paper and cardboard packaging must be removed before the buffer room because they release particles.
86
how to set up your workbench
87
how clean yoru compounding area
To clean the hood you must do things in this order:
Ceiling
Hepa filter (do not spray the HEPA filter ever because it will be ruined)
Bars and hooks
Sides
Floor
\*\* use two 70% Isopropyl alcohol wipes and fold them. Wipe in the motion like we did in lab this is fairly self explanatory\*\*
