Question | Answer |
---|---|
the higher grade purity of a product is ensured by | an analysis certificate be the American Chemical Society |
material safety data sheet must be | filed for all stored ingredients |
the material safety data sheet is | MSDS |
the msds has | info on hazards and accidental exposure treatment procedures |
the msds also has info on | hazard/flammability of compound chemicals |
the beyond use date documents the date | after which the compound expires |
stability is the extent to which a compound has | the same properties possessed at preparation time |
the usp chpt. 795 provides an estimate for | beyond use date |
refridgerated aqueous solutions may last | about 14 days |
solids may last | up to 6 mos. |
others may last | for 30 days |
when manufactured materials are used, | take the ealier date of expiration |
25% of the remaining expiration date may | last 6 mos. |
techs should have pharmacists check | beyond use dates |
sterile compound beyond use dates is stricter, | about 24-72 hrs. & stability/sterility is documented |
many compounding pharm]s seek mat'l acreditatio which | protects patients & businesses legal boundaries |
nat'l accreditation differentiates a practice from | other pharm] practices |
the pharm] compounding accrediting board, | accredites pharm]s |
for accreditation, pharm]s must follow | the continuous quality improvement process |
the continuous quality improvement process includes periodic spot checks of | tech's work & random product selection to be analyzed at an outside lab |
the pharm] compounding accrediting board provides quality standards for | compounding pharm]s through voluntary accreditation |
continuous quality improvements is a process of | written procedures designed to spot problems & give answers |
techs must pass a broad nat'l certification exam as well as | mini certifications & lab training |
nonsterile compouding documents include | a master control record which is a recipe for rx compounds |
the master control record is prepared by a | pharmacist or given by a compounding service |
the master control record also includes | recipes for preps, mixing instructions, & beyond use dates |
a compounding log is | generated for each rx |
pharmacists use a compounding log to complete | initial calculations & to document them |
the log copy (called the rx record) is | filed & used for refills |
a compounding log is a print out of the rx that has details of | ingredients & compounding instructions used by techs for preps |
a rx record is a computed version of | the compounding log |
the compounding log lists | ingredients, manufacturers, wholesaler sources, lot #'s ndc #'s, expiration, qualitity made, compounding date, & initials of pharmacist & tech |
techs must have aptitude for | calculation performing |
pharmacists are legally responsible for | techs calculations |
double checking is | a good practice |
C2 rx balancing needs a | 2 pan balance, used weigh small amounts (120g or less), sensitivity requirement around +/- 6 mg, pharmaceutical weights to offset ingredient weights |
