USP 800

Is not enforceable (only informational)

It can be enforceable by state boards of pharmacy

USP 800=

describes practice and quality standards for handling hazardous drugs (HDs) to promote patient safety, worker safety, and environmental protection.

USP 800 includes:

all personnel that interact with the medication including those recieving, storing, compounding, dispensing, transporting, administering, and disposing of the medication.

Hazardous Drug Process

What are hazardous drugs?

include those that exhibit one or more of the following SIX characteristics in humans or animals.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

NIOSH

Drugs are divided into 3 groups:

1. Antineoplastic drugs
2. Non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more criteria for a hazardous drug
3. Drugs that pose reproductive risk
-includes risk to men and women actively trying to conceive, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women

Common Drugs that are Listed on the NIOSH list:

Newly Appproved DRUGS:

To evaluate hazardous potential:

-check the safety date sheets from the manufacturer
-review the product labeling

Routes of unintentional entry of hazardous drugs into the body include:

-dermal absorption
-mucosal absorption
-inhalation
-injection
-ingestion
*contaminated foodstuggs, spills, or mouth contact with contaminated hands

Examples of Exposures Table (1):

Examples of Exposures Table (2):

Assessment of Risk from Low to High Risk Levels:

Drugs on NIOSH list that must follow the requirements of USP 800 include:

Any hazardous drug active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)
-powders/substances for use in compounding

Any antineoplastic requiring manipulation

Drugs on the NIOSH list that do NOT have to follow all of the containment requirements of USP 800 if an assessment of risk is performed and implemented include:

Final dosage forms that do not require further manipulation other than counting or repackaging

Equipment and Facility Requirements:

Engineering Controls

1. containment primary engineering controls (C-PECs)
-ventilated devices designed to minimize worker and environmental exposure

2. containment secondary engineering controls (C-SECs)
-room in which the C-PEC is placed

3. supplemental engineering controls are adjunct controls to offer additional levels of protection
ex: closed-system drug-transfer device (CSTD)

C-PECs rely on high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters

C-PECs Sterile Compounding:

-must protect the compounder and the product from contamination
-must be externally vented

ex: Class II Biological safety cabiner (BSC)
Compounding aseptic containment isolators (CACI)

C-PECs Nonsterile Compounding:

-must protect the compounder
*does not protect the product
-must be externally vented or have redundant HEPA filters

ex: containment ventilated enclosures (CVE)
Class I biological safety cabinets (BSC)

Containment secondary engineering controls (C-SECs)

the room in which the containment primary engineering control (C-PEC) is placed

For both sterile and nonsterile compounding, the room must be:

C-SECs Sterile compounding:

Personal Protective equipment (PPE)

PPE requirements

...

If there is a risk of spills or splashes when working outside a C-PEC, appropriate eye and face protection must be worn.

-goggles (safety glasses not sufficient)
-may need a face shield or full-facepiece respirator

If respiratory protection is required, a N95 or more protective respirator is sufficient to protect against airborne particles. Surgical masks offer no protection.

Handling Hazardous drugs

Receipt of hazardous drugs

Compounding of hazardous drugs:

Deactivation=

render hazardous drug inert or inactive
-treatment of a HD contaminant on surfaces with a chemical, heat, UV light, or another agent to transform the HD into a less hazardous agent
-oxidizing agents may be sodium hypochlorite (dilute bleach) or hydrogen peroxide
-no single agent is able to deactivate all medications on the NIOSH list

Decontamination=

removal of hazardous drug residue from non-disposable surface and transfer it to an absorbent, disposable material such as a towel/wipe

Cleaning=

removal of organic or inorganic materials

Disinfection=

inhibits or destroys microorganisms
