USP 797 and USP
800 Cleanroom
Certification
USP 797 and USP 800 compliant cleanrooms play a vital role in creating and maintaining contamination free production environments for the pharmaceutical sterile compounding industry.
Allometrics employs NSF Accredited Technicians, and CETA Registered Cleanroom Certification Professionals (RCCP-SCF) for all USP 797 and USP 800 cleanroom certification and testing services.
USP 797 is a regulatory document issued by the United States Pharmacopoeia which specifies both the procedures and environmental requirements for compounded sterile preparations (CSPs).
The USP 797 standard was created to ensure the quality and safety of compounded products. Its focus is on providing patients with medications that are of equal:
- Strength
- Quality
- Purity
- Consistency
USP 797 also details additional factors, including:
- HVAC Systems
- Cleanroom Requirements
- Humidity, Temperatures and Pressure Factors
- Equipment Requirements
- Personnel Training
- Equipment Maintenance Specifications
- Approved Cleaning Solutions
- Testing Procedures
- Standard Operating Procedures
What Is USP 800?
The USP 797 standard covers all facets of sterile compounding and aims to protecting consumers. However, the need to ensure a quality work environment and to protect healthcare manufacturing personnel from hazardous drugs had been a concern for decades.
USP 800 came to exist as a direct response to this concern. While USP 797 aims to protect the patients, the goal of USP 800 is to protect healthcare workers who come in contact with hazardous drugs.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) defines a hazardous drug as one who displays one or more of the following characteristics in humans or animals:
- Carcinogenicity
- Teratogenicity or Developmental Toxicity
- Reproductive Toxicity
- Organ Toxicity at Low Doses
- Genotoxicity
- New Drugs that Mimic Existing Hazardous Drugs
