Designing a USP-797 and USP-800 Compliant Compounding Pharmacy

With the recent Drug Quality and Security Act, now is the time to become proactive with FDA inspections. Stop contamination before it starts. Implementing a sterile compounding pharmacy begins with designing a compliant cleanroom. In this course, you will learn design and environmental control of a compounding pharmacy that is in compliance with USP 797 requirements and proposed USP 800.

This course is available as a custom location training option for your facility.

This Recommended Practice (RP), IEST-RP-CC012.3, makes recommendations regarding factors to consider in the design of cleanroom facilities. The RP is limited to those environmental conditions that typically confront cleanroom designers and users. The RP is intended to provide users with a means to establish performance criteria for cleanrooms.
