Chemo Wipe Analysis provides you with the data to ensure that your USP<800> containment strategies are effective and protect your employees from exposure to hazardous drugs (HD)s.
We can schedule onsite testing or send USP <800> chemo wipe testing kits with detailed instructions to your facility.
USP <800> HD wipe testing guidelines indicate that environmental wipe sampling for hazardous drug surface residue should be performed routinely (e.g., initially as a benchmark and at least every 6 months, to verify containment). Surface wipe sampling should include:
- • Areas adjacent to C-PECs (e.g., floors directly under C-PEC, staging, and dispensing area)
- • Interior of the C-PEC and equipment contained in it
- • Pass-through chambers
- • Surfaces in staging or work areas near the C-PEC
Quality Solutions offers Chemo Wipe Analysis for the common marker HDs listed in USP <800>.
