Onsite USP <797> Viable Air and Surface Monitoring Program Evaluation
As part of this service, a consultant will visit your sterile compounding facility, spending one day observing and understanding your workflow. The consultant will evaluate your viable air and surface sampling program, and provide a comprehensive analysis of your SOPs, recent results, and sampling plan, based on USP <797> requirements, contamination risks, and workflow. The report will provide detailed recommendations on sample locations and changes to your overall program. This option provides everything the sterile compounding organization needs to ensure they have a robust viable monitoring program.
Remote USP <797> Viable Air and Surface Monitoring Program Evaluation
The consultant will schedule a call with an individual who best knows the facility’s workflow. The consultant will evaluate your viable air and surface sampling program, and provide a comprehensive analysis of your SOPs, recent results, and sampling plan, based on USP <797> requirements, contaminations risks, and workflow. The report will provide detailed recommendations on sample locations and changes to your overall program. This remote option is an excellent choice for those who have a thorough understanding of their workflow and contamination risks.
Remote USP <797> Sampling Plan Evaluation
This option is for those sterile compounding pharmacies that have a good handle on their overall viable sampling program but want some help in confirming they have the best sampling plan for their facility. Pure Microbiology will schedule a call with an individual who best knows the facility’s workflow. The consultant will then evaluate past data and create a robust sampling plan to ensure the data collected not only meets USP <797> requirements but allows for valuable trending.
Viable Air and Surface Sampling Report Evaluation
Although USP <797> does not have specific requirements for viable air and surface sampling reports, there are minimum elements that must be part of a good report. Most labs cover the essentials, but how can you be sure you are getting everything you need? Our consultant can review lab reports or the data you are collecting internally, if you incubate your own samples, for the essential information required to tell the story of the sampling session. A detailed report will be provided.
USP <797> Exceeded Action Level Support
The consultant will review viable air and surface results and assess appropriate next steps in handling exceeded action levels. In addition to reviewing the report, the consultant may request specific information about past results and facility work practices and, if necessary, have a call with those responsible for organizational compliance. A concise report is prepared with next-step recommendations.
General Microbiology Assistance
Decide on the amount of time you wish to utilize the consultant, and they will be available to assist in your microbiology-related needs.
The consultant will identify what is needed for your organization to implement a USP <797> testing laboratory, including viable and surface analysis, media-fill incubation and analysis, and microbial identification. Additionally, the consultant can assist in the development of a quality program, which incorporates SOPs and necessary training.
