What is USP 800? USP 800, established by the United States Pharmacopeia, sets standards for the safe handling of hazardous drugs in healthcare settings. It aims to minimize the risk of exposure to healthcare workers, patients, and the environment.
Importance of Cleanrooms: Cleanrooms play a crucial role in meeting USP 800 standards. These controlled environments help maintain the necessary cleanliness and air quality for the safe handling of hazardous drugs. Key features of cleanrooms under USP 800 include:
Controlled Environment: Cleanrooms are designed to limit contamination through stringent air filtration and circulation systems.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Staff are required to wear appropriate PPE to protect themselves and prevent contamination.
Regular Monitoring: Cleanrooms undergo routine monitoring of air quality, temperature, and humidity to ensure compliance with USP standards.
By adhering to USP 800 guidelines, we can ensure the safe and effective handling of hazardous drugs, protecting both staff and patients.
