Achieving Best Practices: Sterile Compounding
COURSE TIMETABLE
Friday 4 Feb: 11:45AM - 5:00PM
Saturday 5 Feb: 8:00AM - 5:00PM
Sunday 6 Feb: 7:45AM - 5:00PM
This course includes a home study component that serves as a prerequisite to the live activity. Activity participants are required to achieve a 75% passing grade associated with a self-study learning assessment prior to attending the live event. Full attendance and the completion of an activity evaluation and practical skill set competency evaluation are a compulsory requirement to receive a certificate for the activity.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The Practice-based Activity will provide the pharmacist and technician with current theoretical knowledge, practical skill and measurable competencies necessary to meet the high standard of practice required for a sterile compounding practice and the autonomy to make informed decisions as they relate to a broad range of performance measures. The activity is comprised of an interactive self-study workbook and a highly dynamic live event staged in a sterile compounding facility. Pharmacists and technicians will be afforded the opportunity to prepare compounded sterile preparations in an ISO class 5 environment. Further, pharmacists and technicians will learn how to conduct all necessary maintenance, control, monitoring and testing procedures to sustain a sterile compounding facility and prepare compounded sterile preparations as they ensure high quality, assess elements of risk and learn how to validate all aspects of sterile compounding practice.
The Practice-based Activity features a series of 16 workstations, each one-hour in duration, and includes four (4) compounded sterile preparations, four (4) simulated sterile preparations, a robust Media-Fill Challenge test, Master Formulation Record design, facility workflow design, risk management assessment development, validation protocol development, observational auditing, automated compounding device training, and a hands-on session related to a series of technologies used in environmental monitoring, measuring, preparation testing, sterilization, sanitization, incubation and validation.
Intended audience
Pharmacists and Technicians new to sterile compounding or with an existing compounding practice.
ACTIVITY DESIGN
A two part activity; self-study with learning assessment and live event with competency assessment.
Learning Objectives
Objectives - Pharmacist
After completing this module, the pharmacist will be able to:
- Demonstrate donning and doffing, hand hygiene, aseptic manipulations and sanitization techniques
- Demonstrate the use of closed system transfer devices for hazardous drug compounding
- Prepare compounded sterile preparations in an ISO classified three-room cleanroom suite
- Assess and perform adjustment calculations for drug form and certificate of analysis-related indications
- Assess and perform overage calculations for processing, sterility and endotoxin testing
- Sketch a cleanroom suite for optimal workflow
- Create a Master Formulation Record
- Explain how to perform the gloved fingertip and thumb sampling and a media-fill test
- Summarise findings of a risk assessment, and then construct a corrective action and preventive action plan
- Summarise findings following an inspection, and then construct a corrective action and preventive action plan
- Operate electromechanical equipment (e.g., balance, automated compounded devise, particulate samplers (non-viable and viable), incubator, sterilizers (steam and dry heat), biological indicator and chemical integrator, pH meter, and more)
