NAPRA
This type of monitoring uses surface wipe samples to detect hazardous drug contamination, must be performed at least every six months (or after significant changes), focuses on high‑risk areas such as around the C‑PEC, and the results must be documented in the general maintenance log.
hazardous drug surface contamination (wipe) sampling
This ISO class is required for the primary engineering control where sterile compounding occurs.
These are examples of critical sites during sterile compounding.
vial stoppers, needle hubs, and syringe tips
This is the first PPE item you don.
Head Cover/Bouffant
A specialized, non-sharp medical tools designed for drawing medication from vials, reducing needle-stick injuries by up to 52%
Blunt needle
For compounded sterile preparations requiring refrigeration, the packaging must maintain a temperature between
2°C and 8°C
This type of engineering control is used when compounding hazardous sterile drugs.
biological safety cabinet (BSC)
True or False:
In a BSC it is safe to mix with the glass up as long as you have turned off the alarm
False
This garment protects sterile preparations from contamination from the compounding personnel’s torso and arms.
Gown
A specialized medical tool that mechanically prevents the escape of hazardous drug vapors, aerosols, or spills into the environment and prohibits environmental contaminants from entering the system
Closed System transfer device
True or false:
Plumbing Water sources, sinks and drains must not be located in a clean room but are permitted in the anteroom.
True
This room acts as a transition area
Anteroom
How many inches inside the hood is considered the safe working zone
6 inches
Personnel must demonstrate competency initially and then at this frequency. (For low to medium risk)
At least annually
Used when large volumes of medication or diluent are being transferred from vials to syringes.
Dispensing Pin
The controlled areas of facilities and the PEC must be certified by a recognized organization how often
At least every 6 months
Positive pressure is used for non-hazardous compounding, while this pressure type is required for hazardous compounding.
Negative pressure
This type of testing evaluates a compounder’s ability to maintain aseptic technique.
media fill testing
Sterile Gloves
This item is often "snapped" to access the medication
Ampule
When was NAPRA founded
1995
This type of filter used in primary engineering controls removes at least 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns and larger to maintain an ISO Class 5 environment.
HEPA filter
The most common type of high-risk compound sterilization within AHS Pharmacy Services is sterilization by .....
Filtration
An item many people forget to Doff, making a new walking fashion statement.
