Competency information
Details
Perform practical aseptic manipulation of components using correct aseptic technique and the use of principal equipment, under simulation.
Considerations
- SOPs.
- Equipment, including approved starting materials and consumables, laminar air flow cabinets and isolators (types, advantages, limitations, routine maintenance).
- Correct use of laminar cabinets and isolators, including cleaning.
- Transfer of materials to critical zones.
- Correct disinfection technique; spray/wipe/spray.
- Theoretical principles of aseptic manipulation.
- Performing and recording in-process checks.
- Potential sources of contamination:
- chemical composition
- pH
- sterility (eg microorganism contamination)
- pyrogenicity
- biological or therapeutic potency
- physical appearance
- particulate matter (eg dust, glass or precipitation)
- people
- air supply
- infilitration and preparation area
- Indications for parenteral medication.
