Hazardous Drug (HD) Wipe Sampling
U.S. Micro-Solutions is partnering with Quess360 Pharmacy Solutions to offer targeted HD Wipe Sampling for USP <800> compliance - Safer surfaces, Smarter monitoring!
USP <800> states the following: Environmental wipe sampling for HD surface residue should be performed routinely (e.g., initially as a benchmark and at least every 6 months, or more often as needed, to verify containment).
SOME RECOMMENDED AREAS to be sampled:
- Front grille within the C-PEC
- Cart beside the C-PEC
- Passthrough
- Floor in front of the C-PEC
- Armrest of a patient treatment chair
