A CSP assigned in a BUD of greater than
Category 2 CSP 12 hours room temperature or greater
than 24 hours refrigerated.
Administration begins within 4 hrs follow-
Immediate use CSP ing the start of the preparation. Must not
involve more that 3 sterile products.

Glove Fingertip Sampling cubate 30-35 for 48 H and 20-25 for 5
days, record CFU, Determine if CFU ac-

total number of CFU from both hands
Simulate compounding activities if ster-
ile to sterile use soybean-casein digest
media, if non sterile use commerically
available nonsterile soybean-casein di-
gest powder to make a 3% non-sterile
solution. Preparer at least 1 container as
a positive control.
Media Fill Testing Procedure Once compounding simulations are
completed perform gloved fingertip and
thumb sampling on each hand and sur-
face sample of DCA inside the PEC. Take
samples prior to disinfecting.
Incubate 20-25 and 30-35 for a minimum
of 7 days at each temperature.
