10/4/18 USP THE TOP 10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW Christina Coleman Kim, PharmD University of New Mexico Hospitals #1 Go Live Date Christina Kim 2 1
10/4/18 GO LIVE INFORMATION • DECEMBER 1, 2019 • New Mexico Board of Pharmacy is currently re- writing Title 16, Chapter 19, Part 30 (Compounding of Non-Sterile Pharmaceuticals) and Part 36 (Compounded Sterile Preparations) to include USP regulations • What does this mean for hazardous compounding in New Mexico facilities? • We have approximately 14 months to bring our facilities into compliance with the new regulations • The New Mexico Board of Pharmacy will require compliance and will be inspecting for compliance as of December 1, 2019. • Get it done early because you’ll have a lot of people to reach out to! Christina Kim 3 #2 Introduction and Scope Christina Kim 4 2
10/4/18 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE • WHAT ARE WE DISCUSSING? • Handling Hazardous Drugs (HDs) • WHY ARE WE DISCUSSING HANDLING HAZARDOUS DRUGS? • To create standards for handling because we care about patient safety, employee safety and protecting the environment • WHO IS AFFECTED? • Anyone and any institution that handles HD preparations • SHARE WHAT WE HAVE AT UNMH Christina Kim 5 #3 Designated Person Christina Kim 6 3
10/4/18 DESIGNATED PERSON TO MANAGE THE PROGRAM • RESPONSIBILITIES OF DESIGNATED PERSON • Qualified and trained • Oversee compliance with USP as well as other applicable laws and regulations • Competency of personnel • Environmental control of storage and compounding areas • Oversight of facility including testing and monitoring • Maintaining documentation • DOES THE “DESIGNATED PERSON” HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING? • No, form an interdisciplinary team consisting of nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, physicians, veterinarians, safety personnel, environmental services personnel, etc. Christina Kim 7 #4 LIST OF HAZARDOUS DRUGS Christina Kim 8 4
10/4/18 LIST OF HAZARDOUS DRUGS • ENTITY MUST CREATE AND MAINTAIN A LIST OF HDs • A list of HDs is maintained by The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) • Group 1: Antineoplastic Drugs which may pose a reproductive risk for susceptible populations • Group 2: Non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more of the NIOSH criteria for a hazardous drug and may also pose a reproductive risk for susceptible populations • Group 3: Drugs that pose a reproductive risk to both men and women who are actively trying to conceive and women who are breast feeding • NIOSH 2016 List plus a proposed addition list for 2018 • Practice-specific assessment of HDs which is evaluated yearly or whenever a new agent is added to the formulary • Perform an assessment of risk of the drugs on your list to determine how to handle HDs Christina Kim 9 ASSESSMENT OF RISK • IT IS ADVISEABLE TO PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT OF RISK (AOR) OF ALL DRUGS ON YOUR HAZARDOUS DRUG LIST • Why? Provides for alternative containment strategies and work practices. • HDs on the NIOSH List that must follow containment requirements of USP regardless of AOR include • Any HD API • Any antineoplastic requiring manipulation • Alternative containment strategies and work practices are allowed for drugs on the NIOSH list if an AOR is completed • Final dosage forms of compounded HD preparations • Conventionally manufactured HD products that do not require any further manipulation Christina Kim 10 5
10/4/18 ASSESSMENT OF RISK • TOPICS TO INCLUDE IN THE AOR: 1. Type of HD 2. Dosage form (Every form of every drug on the NIOSH list) 3. Risk of exposure 4. Packaging 5. Manipulation 6. Administration (PPE) • EXAMPLES 1. Final dosage form of compounded antineoplastics (An AOR may reveal the need for less restrictive storage requirements) 2. Finasteride (crushing tablets on the floor) (An AOR may reveal the need for more restrictive requirements.) Christina Kim 11 Step 1: Create an Algorithm • Present it to your group and discuss NIOSH Table 2 or is carcinogenic, genotoxic, or organ toxic (per criteria in NIOSH guidelines) • Pick what factors are important and come up with a consistent set of rules • You could try to evaluate each drug and Injectable Solution, Topical Tablet, Capsule each form one-by-one • After you include all of the forms of each drug you are looking at a list 300 lines Requires drawing from ampule or vial? Requires manipulation such as mixing? Requires manipulation sucRequires manipulation such as crushing or splitting tablets or opening capsules? long! • That’s too much for a group discussion • Dividing and conquering list-by-list can Yes: Yes: Yes: lead to inconsistency Storage: Standard Storage: Standard Hood: C-PEC Storage: Standard Hood: C-PEC Hood: C-PEC Pharmacy garb: Full PPE Pharmacy garb: Full PPE Pharmacy garb: Full PPE Hand Delivery non-chemo Hand Delivery non-chemo Hand delivery non-chemo Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves If not, then it's in its final dosage form If not, then it's in its final dosage form Storage: Pyxis Storage: Pyxis No, in final dosage form: Hood: N/A Hood: N/A Storage: Pyxis Pharmacy garb: N/A Pharmacy garb: N/A Hood: N/A Pharmacy garb: N/A Delivery: OK to tube Delivery: OK to tube Nursing garb: Chemo gloves Nursing garb: Chemo gloves Delivery: OK to tube Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves Christina Kim 12 6
10/4/18 Step 2: Load Your Algorithm Rules into Excel • The NIOSH list is not Excel friendly but you can do it! • Make a bunch of If-Then Statements in Excel based on the algorithm your group decided on and just drag it through your NIOSH Excel • You will end up with a big, overwhelming Excel sheet that only the safety nerds will appreciate • It will only take one, hour-long meeting for the algorithm • From there give one person about two extra hours to set up the Excel and you’re done! • If you want to change the algorithm later, just update the Excel rules! Christina Kim 13 UNMH Assessment of Risk • Do not crush or open any forms of drugs on this list on a nursing unit or anywhere outside of a pharmacy Hazardous hood. • When administration of a drug requires that pharmacy manipulate any nonsterile HD on this list such as splitting tablets, crushing tablets or opening capsules to create a slurry, administering personnel must wear two pairs of gloves and a gown. • The information in this list can be found on the MAR and Pyxis stations. • Most NIOSH Group 1 drugs are cytotoxic chemotherapy. Cytotoxic drugs will be stickered with a yellow warning sticker that states, "CYTOTOXIC MATERIAL HANDLE PROPERLY." • NIOSH Group 2 drugs are non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more of the NIOSH criteria for an HD, some of these HDs may pose a reproductive risk for susceptible populations. • NIOSH Group 3 drugs primarily pose a reproductive risk to men and women who are actively trying to conceive and women who are pregnant or breast feeding. • Solid form drugs generally pose less risk of exposure than injectable and non-solid form drugs and thus are handled differently.

Christina Kim 15 #5 RECEIVING HDs Christina Kim 16 8
10/4/18 REQUIREMENTS FOR RECEIVING HDs PROCEDURE REQUIRED FOR RECEIVING HDS 1. Visually examine the shipping container for signs of damage or breakage and follow entity’s developed procedure for handling damaged or broken containers 2. The supplier should package HDs in impervious plastic to segregate them from other drugs. Leave the HDs in the plastic and deliver to the HD storage area for further unpacking 3. PPE, including chemotherapy gloves, must be worn when unpacking (This is where the AOR comes in to play) 4. Remove HDs from their external shipping containers in an area that is neutral or negative pressure relative to the surrounding areas. 5. Do not unpack in the sterile compounding area or in any positive pressure area 6. A spill kit must be accessible in the receiving area Christina Kim 17 #6 STORING HDs Christina Kim 18 9
10/4/18 REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING HDs PROCEDURE REQUIRED FOR STORING HDs 1. Do not store on the floor. Store on secure shelves with raised front lips to prevent falling and breaking 2. Antineoplastic HDs and HD API requiring physical manipulation must be stored in an externally vented, negative pressure room with at least 12 air changes per hour (ACPH). Example: Hazardous Ante or Clean room 3. Non-antineoplastic, reproductive risk only, and final dosage forms of antineoplastic HDs may be stored with other inventory if permitted by entity policy. Examples: methotrexate, finasteride and warfarin tabs Christina Kim 19 REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING HDs PROCEDURE REQUIRED FOR STORING HDs 4. Refrigerated antineoplastic HDs must be stored in a dedicated refrigerator in a negative pressure area with at least 12 ACPH. Examples: storage room, buffer (clean) room or containment segregated compounding area (C-SCA). Note: It is recommended to place the refrigerator in front of an exhaust vent if the refrigerator is located in a negative pressure buffer (clean) room 5. The most simple approach to take (if your procedures allows) is to store sterile HDs that require manipulation in a properly designed storage room, hazardous ante or clean room or the C-SCA. Store non-sterile HDs such as tablets or suspensions with other inventory Christina Kim 20 10
10/4/18 #7 COMPOUNDING HDs Christina Kim 21 COMPOUNDING PRACTICAL APPROACH TO COMPOUNDING • Training • Personal Protective Equipment • Facilities and Engineering Controls • Containment Supplemental Engineering Controls • Non-sterile compounding Christina Kim 22 11
10/4/18 Definitions Engineering Controls: NIOSH/OSHA term that describes a barrier between the worker and HD • Primary Engineering Control: • Containment Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC): Haz-hood • Secondary Engineering Control: • Containment Secondary Engineering Control (C-SEC): Haz-room • Containment segregated compounding area (C-SCA): Basically a less sterile C-SEC • Unclassified area: Everywhere else in the world • Supplemental Engineering Control: Closed-System Drug- Transfer Device (CSTD) • Equashield, Phaseal, etc Christina Kim 23 TRAINING STERILE HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDING 1. TRAINING IN NON-HAZARDOUS STERILE COMPOUNDING IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO BEGINNING HAZARDOUS STERILE COMPOUNDING TRAINING 2. Once non-hazardous compounding training is complete and employee demonstrates competency then hazardous compounding training can begin 3. The following are required areas of training for any type of hazardous compounding: • Overview of entity’s list of HDs and risks • Review of the entity’s policies and procedures for handling HDs • Proper Use of Personal Protective Equipment • Proper Use of equipment and devices • Response to known or suspected HD exposure • Spill Management • Proper disposal of HDs and trace-contaminated materials Christina Kim 24 12
10/4/18 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 1. GLOVES [American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6978] • Two pairs of gloves are required. The outside gloves must be sterile • Change gloves every 30 minutes or when torn, punctured or contaminated • Wash hands with soap and water after removing gloves 2. GOWNS [Polyethylene-coated polypropylene or other laminate materials] • Disposable • Long sleeved • Close in the back (tie in the back) • Closed cuffs that are elastic or knit • Change every 2-3 hours or per the manufacturer’s information. Change immediately after a spill or splash • Do not wear the gown outside of the hazardous medication preparation area Christina Kim 25 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 3. HEAD, HAIR, SHOE, AND SLEEVE COVERS • Cover head and hair. Cover beard and moustache with a beard cover • When entering the hazardous compounding area a second set of shoe covers must be donned before entering and doffed when exiting the compounding area • Disposable sleeve covers may be used (polyethylene-coated polypropylene or other laminate materials offer better protection 4. EYE AND FACE PROTECTION • Eye protection is typically not used when compounding inside an appropriate biological safety cabinet • However, goggles must be worn when eye protection is needed • Face shields in combination with goggles provide full protection against splashes to the eyes and face Christina Kim 26 13
10/4/18 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 5. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION • Interestingly enough – USP doesn’t give a recommendation for respiratory protection if working with a face shield in an appropriate biological safety cabinet • USP does state that “surgical masks do not provide respiratory protection from drug exposure and must not be used when respiratory protection from HD exposure is required” • Remember a mask ensures sterility of the product but even an N-95 doesn’t do much to protect the worker 6. DISPOSAL OF PPE USED DURING COMPOUNDING • Place in an appropriate waste container inside the containment secondary engineering control area (C- SEC) also known as the hazardous clean room and dispose of per local, state, and federal regulations • Remove chemotherapy gloves and sleeve covers used during compounding and discard immediately into an appropriate waste container inside the contained primary engineering control unit (C-PEC). You may also place gloves and sleeves into a sealable bag and discard into an appropriate waste container outside of the C-PEC such as an appropriate container located in the C-SEC. This second option is a little more practical due to space inside the C-PEC • Need to don PPE upon entering and doff PPE BEFORE leaving the haz room • Can’t run things out of the Haz room and re-enter anymore Christina Kim 27 FACILITIES AND 1 2 ENGINEERING CONTROLS In order to compound appropriately and 3 4 safely understand the facility, design and engineering controls is crucial 5 6 Christina Kim 28 14
10/4/18 USP AND FACILITY DESIGN FOR STERILE COMPOUNDING SHARED ANTE ROOM – ISO 7 ISO 5 Class II B2 BSC Laminar Air Flow Hood (LAFH) POSITIVE PRESSURE BUFFER ROOM NEGATIVE PRESSURE – ISO 7 – ISO 7 – NON-HAZARDOUS – HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDING COMPOUNDING – RECIRCULATE AIR EXTERNALLY VENTED TO THROUGH HEPA FILTERS OR VENT OUTSIDE AIR TO THE OUTSIDE Christina Kim 29 USP AND FACILITY DESIGN FOR HD STERILE COMPOUNDING – Unclassified Containment-Segregated Compounding Area (C-SCA) – Requires 12 hour BUD Class II B2 BSC NEGATIVE PRESSURE – Relative to adjacent area (0.01 – 0.03 in WC) EXTERNALLY VENTED TO OUTSIDE AIR Christina Kim 30 15
10/4/18 PRIMARY ENGINEERING CONTROL Containment Primary Engineering Controls (C-PECS) NOT ALLOWED for STERILE compounding of HDs Laminar Air Flow Hood (LAFH) Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) Can be used for Non- Sterile Compounding Class 1 BSC Fume Hood (protects worker but not product) Christina Kim 31 PRIMARY ENGINEERING CONTROL Containment Primary Engineering Controls (C-PECS) ALLOWED for STERILE compounding of HDs Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) Can be used for Non- Sterile Compounding Christina Kim 32 16
10/4/18 PRIMARY ENGINEERING CONTROL – One more! Compounding aseptic containment isolator (CACI) • Note that 797 update will require that you put disposable gloves on your hands, then put your gloved hands into the gloves then put gloves on top of the gloves • 3 pair of gloves! • You still need to put it into a negative pressure room Christina Kim 33 CONTAINMENT SUPPLEMENTAL ENGINEERING CONTROLS (CSTDs) Keyword: Supplemental Not a substitute for a C-PEC • Offer an additional level of protection during compounding and administration • A “Should” for preparation, but a “Must” for administration? • Many Brands in the Marketplace. Examples: • Equashield • Icumedical – ChemoLock • BD Phaseal • Tevadaptor COMPOUNDING ADMINISTRATION Christina Kim 34 17
10/4/18 NON-STERILE COMPOUNDING • Must also follow standards set in Pharmaceutical Compounding-Nonsterile Preparations • Handling of final dosage forms in a C-PEC is not required unless you are manipulating in such a way that produces particles, aerosols or gasses • If you are manipulating a non-sterile HD then the following table is helpful to determine where to compound: Engineering Controls for Nonsterile HD Compounding C-PEC Requirements C-SEC Requirements • Externally vented • Externally vented (preferred) or redundant- • 12 ACPH HEPA filtered in series • Negative Pressure (0.01 • Examples: CVE, Class I or and 0.03 inches of water II BSC, CACI column) relative to adjacent areas • A C-PEC designated for sterile compounding may be used to occasionally compound non-sterile HD. However, the C- PEC must be decontaminated, cleaned and disinfected before resuming sterile compounding Christina Kim 35 Other Recommendations Engineering Controls: Preferred ISO Class 7 buffer room with ISO Class 7 ante room • Not recommended to enter the haz room through the non-haz room (ante-room preferred) • But if you do, a method of transportation of HDs is required. It’s basically required to have a pass-through • Wipe sampling twice per year • Talk with your CSTD rep ;) Christina Kim 36 18
10/4/18 #8 ADMINISTERING HDs Christina Kim 37 Help the Nurses! • No NIOSH medication should be crushed on the units? • What about paediatric patient education (methotrexate)? • It’s a SHOULD NOT in USP 800, use a plastic pouch and PPE if absolutely necessary • Now you have a Do-Not Crush list and the NIOSH list • Time to put this info onto the MAR and Pyxis • Use CSTDs for administration when possible (It’s mandatory) • Have Chemo-experienced nurses float to administer chemo • PPE: all of our gloves at UNMH are “Chemo gloves” • 2 pair for anti-neoplastic HDs • 2 versus 1 for the rest depends on your assessment of risk • Eye, face, and respiration protection is optional • Refer to Oncology Nursing Society guidelines ONS for more details on PPE Christina Kim 38 19
10/4/18 #9 SPILL CONTROL of HDs Christina Kim 39 Spills! In addition to PPE requirements described, its up to you to work with work with EVS and Safety on this one! • Develop SOPs and train your staff At UNMH • Our Spill SOP is built into our USP 800 guideline • Double-bag contaminated linen blue then yellow on the outside • Spills less than 5ml • No spill kit necessary • Spills greater than 5ml • Use a spill kit Christina Kim 40 20
10/4/18 #10 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE Christina Kim 41 Accidental Exposure! • Does every person exposed to chemo need a trip to the ED? • Consider running this by the ED before putting it in writing! • Be careful who you mandate goes to the ED • Our ED does not feel every drop of chemo requires an emergency visit • Eye exposure, ingestion, symptomatic skin and symptomatic inhalation require immediate treatment • Send patients, visitors and workers to Oc Health or ED • Injections, rectal, nasal exposure, need immediate help as well • Work with your Occupational Health team Christina Kim 42 21
10/4/18 Conclusion Christina Kim 43 Wow them with Pharmacy! USP 800 is a big deal and its our time to shine! • Recruit a multidisciplinary team • Come up with your own procedure and make it practical and specific for your institution • Parade around your work! • Use it as a networking opportunity for your department and our profession!
