The Challenge: Compliance with USP chapters <797> and <800> is demanding but patients deserve the best care possible. These chapters describe the conditions, practices and quality standards for compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) made from both non-hazardous and hazardous drugs (HDs).
It is best practice to wipe down surfaces of supplies such as intravenous (IV) bags and vials packaged in cardboard boxes with a disinfectant before bringing the supplies into classified areas of a clean room. Effective decontamination of hazardous drug residues on containers such as IV bags may reduce the risk of occupational exposure. It is critical to understand the risk of penetration of any potential disinfecting or decontaminating agent into the IV bags.

Unintended exposures to B-lactam antibiotics can lead to severe allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Guidance from the FDA indicates that manufacturing and compounding operations must minimize the risk of cross-contamination from B-lactam antibiotics by segregation. Analogous to hazardous drug residues, cross contamination of B-lactams also could be reduced by decontamination/deactivation using disinfectants or cleaning agents.
