Esco has announced the release of pharmacy isolator safe use and product videos, designed to act as tools to inform and educate existing and potential pharmacy isolator users.
The Esco pharmacy isolators educational (safe use) video informs and educates potential and existing isolator users on the following topics: risks involving cytotoxic drug preparation; USP guidelines and requirements; types of isolators; how isolators work; safe use of pharmacy isolators; cleaning and disinfection procedures; maintenance.
The Esco Isoclean pharmacy isolator product video informs and educates potential isolator users on the following topics: introduction; positive pressure isolators; negative pressure isolators; airflow; features and benefits.
Pharmacy isolators provide a safe and clean environment for compounding of hazardous, sterile drug preparations in compliance with USP797 criteria.
Barrier isolation systems provide superior sterility and operator protection compared with open-front clean-air devices such as laminar flow clean benches and Class II biological safety cabinets.
When used as part of a system that includes operator aseptic technique training, process validation, expiration setting, and product quality maintenance after the CSP leaves the pharmacy, isolators are a cost-effective solution especially for lower-volume pharmacies.
They reduce operating and renovation costs, take up less space, and are easier to maintain.
