Farclean offers specialized USP <797> & USP <800> compounding pharmacy cleanroom turnkey solutions, designed specifically for pharmaceutical facilities that handle hazardous drugs and prepare sterile medications. Our engineering services address the stringent requirements of USP Chapter <797> (Pharmacy Compounding) and USP Chapter <800> ( Hazardous Drugs) to ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance, and optimal workflow in medication preparation areas.
What Are USP <797> & USP <800> Compliant Cleanroom Solutions?
USP <797> and USP <800> compliant cleanroom systems are specialized environments designed to prevent contamination during the preparation of sterile and hazardous drugs. These facilities incorporate high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) or ULPA filtration, positive pressure environments, and specialized containment strategies.
Our turnkey solutions for compounding pharmacies are designed to support:
- Certified air filtration with ISO Class 3-8 standards
- Maximized operator safety with Class II/III biological safety cabinets
- Complete workflow optimization for aseptic compounding
- Comprehensive waste management systems
- Seamless integration with pharmacy management systems
Why Pharmaceutical Facilities Choose USP <797> & <800> Cleanroom Solutions
1. Regulatory Compliance
USP <797> and USP <800> standards are mandated by FDA for sterile compounding and hazardous drug handling. Adherence to these chapters ensures that pharmaceutical facilities operate within legal boundaries and maintain patient safety standards.
2. Contamination Prevention
Compliant cleanroom solutions enable the isolation of sterile work areas, preventing microbial and particulate contamination of compounded medications. Features like our advanced cleanroom doors with airtight seals and specialized wall panels designed for easy cleaning help maintain critical sterility requirements.
3. Personnel Protection
USP <800> requires comprehensive protection for personnel handling hazardous drugs. Our cleanroom solutions incorporate personal protective equipment (PPE) systems, air-circulating hoods, and specialized room designs to minimize worker exposure to oncology and other cytotoxic agents.
