Low-Risk level encompasses simple admixtures involving closed-system transfer, measuring, and mixing of three or fewer sterile products. Some of the things low-risk compounding include are, CSPs are compounded using aseptic technique within an ISO Class 5 PEC that is located within an ISO Class 7 buffer area with an ISO Class 8 ante area. Each container, including the final container, cannot be entered more than twice to prepare the CSP. There is a limitation to aseptic manipulations of disinfected containers using sterile needles and syringes. Medium-Risk level encompasses preparations requiring more complex compounding processes. These include multiple doses of sterile products combined or pooled to prepare a product that will be administered either to multiple patients or one patient on multiple occasions. More than three commercially available sterile products are used to produce the compound and the compounding processes are more complex. High-Risk levels are those prepared from nonsterile ingredients, including manufactured products not intended for sterile routes of administration. High-Risk level are compounded using a nonsterile device prior to terminal sterilization, contains nonsterile water that are stored for more than 6 hours before sterilization, they are exposed to conditions worse than ISO Class 5 air quality for …show more content…
Having adequate, well-documented procedures and practices using validated methods will help ensure your pharmacy provides safe sterile product for the patients who need it. Compounding accuracy along with sterility can help provide safety for patients in many different ways. Practicing and performing these two things correctly can lead to good patient care, less patient accidents such as administering the wrong dose of medication or maybe even the wrong kind. Safe and adequate practice is the best
