|
|
|
Define: "Parenteral"
|
Pertaining to delivery methods other than the intestines
|
|
|
What the main sources of product contamination?
|
1) People (Most common)
2) Air supply 3) Infiltration 4) Internal Generation |
|
|
What is the air flow rate of a laminar air flow hood?
|
90 linear feet per minute
|
|
|
Define: "HEPA Filter"
|
High Efficiency Particular Air Filter
Removes 99.97% of all air particles 0.3 mm or larger |
|
|
What is the type of air flow used in Laminar Air Flow Hoods?
|
Horizontal - Blows air towards the worker, best suited for non-chemo preps
|
|
|
What is the type of air flow used in a Biological Safety Cabinet
|
Vertical - Blows air from the top down
Important to maintain sterility while protecting the worker. Best suited for chemo preps. |
|
|
How far away from the hood should aseptic manipulations be made and why?
|
6 inches
This decreases the risk of contamination via room air entering the hood |
|
|
Define: "Barrier Isolator Technology"
|
A closed system in which workers manipulate compounding through gloved ports.
Still requires good aseptic techniques for use |
|
|
What does a Barrier Isolator Work Station consist of?
|
1) Physical Structure
2) Internal Environment 3) Transfer and Interaction Technology 4) Monitoring Systems |
|
|
Describe the internal environment of Barrier Isolator Workstations
|
Less air flow is required than other hoods, and air enters and exits via a HEPA filter.
Positive pressure is used for non-chemo products Negative pressure is used for chemo products |
|
|
Define: "Hub"
|
Where the needle attaches to syringe tip allowing fluid in the syringe barrel
|
|
|
Define: "Bevel"
|
The slanted needle tip, designed for smooth insertions through stoppers and ports
|
|
|
Define: "Coring"
|
Development for a core or hole in the rubber of the vial
|
|
|
Define: "Needle Gauge"
|
This is the width of the needle.
The larger the gauge number, the finer the diameter of the needle Tip to remember: The HIGHER in altitude you climb, the THINNER the air becomes |
|
|
