EXCLUDING BACTERIAL SPORES FROM ASEPTIC COMPOUNDING

摘要

Cherwell Laboratories' triple-wrapped TSB is a faster and more effective way to prevent spore contamination resulting in misleading false results in compounder validation. This prevents unnecessary retraining of fully competent operators, which interrupts workflow and reduces the efficiency of the pharmacy laboratory. It ensures that the media fill simulation procedure is an accurate interpretation of operator competency. This study highlighted the risk of resilient spores contaminating the compounding process. However, the risk to the sterility assurance of the media fill process was deemed to be greater than the risk to the sterility assurance of routine compounding.
