The objective of USP <797> (Pharmaceutical Compounding-Sterile Preparations) is to provide a guideline of conditions necessary to maintain an environment appropriate for compounded sterile preparations (CSP’s). The most effective tool in environmental controls for any sterile laboratory work is the clean room environment. It is imperative that personnel are adequately skilled, educated, instructed, trained and monitored in the necessary aseptic techniques required to work within such an environment. In addition to personnel controls; facility maintenance, design, monitoring and risk assessments (product compositions) also play a critical role in determining the quality of a sterile environment needed for compliance. This training is intended as an overview of the recommendations set forth in General Chapter USP <797> for facilities and personnel who work with CSP’s; or for those entities and personnel that perform work in a general sterile or clean room environment.
Course Objectives:
• To identify which facilities and personnel that are impacted by USP <797>
• Become familiar with the different classifications of microbial contamination risks and examples
• Identify and become familiar with standard training practices employed to become compliant for USP <797> and general cleanroom procedures
• Implementing and maintaining a Quality environment (QA recommendations)
• Common areas for improvement of cleanroom environments
• Familiarization with validation activities necessary for qualifications
