Ready for 800 Compounding HD and the Necessary PPE

Although not mandated for compounding in USP 800, closed system transfer devices (CSTDs) should be used when the dosage form allows, as evidence has shown a reduction in frequency and levels of HD exposure when compared to the use of a needle and syringe in a biological safety cabinet (BSC).Personal protective equipment (PPE) is the “last line of defense” against exposure to hazardous drugs (HDs) when compounding.
