USP <800> Facility Design Considerations

USP <800> became applicable after updates to Chapters <795> and <797> on November 1, 2023. Additional considerations regarding construction must be addressed when designing a facility for Hazardous Drug compounding in non-sterile applications. This paper provides essential insights on proper facility construction.

FACILITY DESIGN REVIEW

Our engineering team will guide you through the building design and construction process, whether it be at startup or transition, to ensure that your facility is in compliance with the standards that govern your operations, including:

  • Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP)
  • ISO 14644 Cleanrooms and Associated Controlled Environments
  • USP <795> Pharmaceutical Compounding – Nonsterile Preparations
  • USP <797> Pharmaceutical Compounding – Sterile Preparations
  • USP <800> Hazardous Drugs – Handling in the Healthcare Settings 

We can assist you in determining the optimal layout of your space to maximize efficiency and workflow all while keeping growth in mind.

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY & CONTROLS

WIPE SAMPLING & TRENDING OF RESULTS

Environmental monitoring (EM), which is a key element in ensuring that processing areas are maintained in an adequate state of control, can help verify the efficacy of your cleaning program. Wipe sampling is an important component of a full, comprehensive program in that it allows for a clearer understanding of contamination risks and serves as quality control for the other components of your HD safety program. 

SURFACE SHIELD WIPE SAMPLING AND CLEANING VERIFICATION KIT

In an effort to create an easy, fast, and convenient method for verifying the efficacy of a cleaning program, including deactivation and decontamination, Eagle created the SurfaceShield Wipe Sampling and Cleaning Verification Kit. This multipurpose and affordable kit can be utilized to achieve and maintain USP <800> compliance and meet Title 21 Part 211 CFR requirements. Clients that submit their samples to Eagle for testing receive real-time updates on their sample’s progress Eagle’s free client portal and sample management EagleTrax app. EagleTrax Features:

  • Real-time updates
  • View sample results
  • New Feature —  Shield Analysis provides you access to your process control charts for easy trending
