A Breath of Fresh Air

By: Mitch Valdmanis and Ron Rob Part II: Air Cleanliness In Part 1 of this series we discussed the importance of laminar airflow and the impacts it had on the design of RIVA’s air handling system. Laminar airflow is critical to preventing the spread of any contaminants in the airflow, but even better would be... Read more

Sanitizing Aseptic Compounding Consumables

Craig A. Boyce , RPh All consumables entering into an ISO-7 buffer zone must be sanitized by saturating the object with sterile isopropyl alcohol (sIPA) and wiping, leaving an adequate residual amount of sIPA so that the object remains wet for at least 30 seconds to kill viable organisms.   Upon introduction into the ISO-5 zone,...
