HVAC and Cleanroom Workflow (PFM On-demand)
Brought to you in partnership with the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding
Please note that this is the on-demand version of the webinar for APC Pharmacy/Facility Members.
The live webinar was recorded on November 18th, 2021.
Overview
One of the most important criteria for the success of a compliant sterile and/or nonsterile compounding room is the HVAC system. USP and ISO have minimum particle count classifications, as well as air changes per hour requirements which are foundational to certifying a cleanroom. Additionally, people and process generate heat and seasons change, all of which affect the performance for the HVAC system connected to the cleanroom. During this presentation, we will clearly define how to design an appropriate HVAC system, taking into account compounding workflow considerations.
