Sterilization |
Can be accomplished by autoclave, filtration, gas, or radiation |
|
Clarity |
Free from foreign particles |
|
Stability |
Affected by the chemical nature of the drug substance, pH, method of preparation, solution, additives, and packaging |
|
Buffer and pH |
Should be formulated at a pH of 7.4, but this rarely occurs. The pH chosen should be optimum for stability |
|
Tonicity |
Refers to the osmotic pressure exerted by the salts. An isotonic solution should have tonicity equal to that of sodium chloride 0.9% |
|
Viscosity |
Agents are used to prolong contact time in the eye and enhanced drug absorption and activity |
|
Ante Area |
An area in which all preparations for IV admixtures are gathered, including labels, gowning, and drug materials |
|
BUD |
The date or time a drug or material can no longer be used |
|
Buffer Area |
An area in which hoods are kept and IV preparations take place |
|
Clean Area |
A space where microbial containment is kept at a specific level of safety to ensure a certain level of cleanliness |
|
Compounded Sterile Product (CSP) |
A sterile drug product that was prepared by compounding or underwent other handling or manipulation prior to administration |
|
Critical Site |
An area exposed to air or touch, such as a vial, needle, or ampule |
|
Direct Compounding Area (DCA) |
A critical area within an ISO class 5 area |
|
Media-fill Test |
A test performed on compounded products to ensure no contamination has occurred during the preparation phase |
|
Negative Pressure Room |
A room in which air flows into the room and away from the adjacent rooms, which results in positive pressure in the room |
|
Positive Pressure Room |
A room in which air flows out of or toward adjacent rooms, which results in lower pressure in the room |
|
ISO Class 5 |
An area where there are no more than 100 particles 0.5 micron or larger per cubic foot of air |
|
ISO Class 7 |
An area where there are no more than 10,000 particles 0.5 micron or larger per cubic foot of air |
|
ISO Class 9 |
An area where there are no more than 100,000 particles 0.5 micron larger per cubic foot of air |
