Experience Esco Safety - Biological Safety Cabinet/Laminar Flow Cabinets
By incorporating customer feedback, Esco continuously innovates, designs, and manufactures biological safety cabinets and laminar flow cabinets that have more features than any cabinets in their price range. Esco delivers protection at cost-effective price that suits any budget requirements.
Equipped with the latest generation US-made single DC-ECM blowers, our biological safety cabinets and laminar flow clean benches are considered the most energy efficient of its kind - giving the user more than $100 annual savings. Our BSCs and laminar flow clean benches are also equipped with ULPA filters, 10x more efficient than HEPA, that provides ISO Class 3 work zone ideal for compounding sterile preparations.

Ventilated Balance Enclosure
Ventilated Balance Enclosure (VBE) is designed specifically for stability and accuracy while maintaining a high level of operator protection by containing hazardous compounds. Using our aerodynamic design on the sash, arm-rest, and sectionalized baffle, the airborne powders are well contained inside the enclosure and exhausted through a HEPA filter or direct to the lab exhaust. A unique filter mounting system eliminates bypass leaks inherent in conventional clamping systems by utilizing a special seal for H14 filters. Our VBE is your trusted partner in providing you protection when handling non-sterile hazardous compounds.

ScriptPro Remote Pharmacist Verification

Telepharmacy for Sterile Room Med Preparation

ScriptPro’s Technology to improve safety in one of the highest risk practices in hospital pharmacies in several ways. Positive matching to the patient's medication order decreases the risk of using the wrong drug. The pharmacists’ review digital images of the critical process steps, including the volume of medication injected into the IV bag.

1. A technician scans the barcode on the chemotherapy drug vial. A computer match to the patient record ensures that the correct formulation has been selected.
2. In the preparation room, the technician captures an electronic image of the vial label and the filled syringe just prior to injecting the medication into the patient's IV bag.
3. Before completing the preparation, the technician presses a button on the ScriptPro Telepharmacy screen to request pharmacist verification.
4. A clinical pharmacist, working outside the preparation room, reviews the images of the drug vial, the pullback on the syringe containing the medication, the IV bag, and the patient's medication order. Confirmation of the review steps and related images are archived as part of the electronic record and are available for future reference.
5. There is no need for either party to go through the procedures of entering or exiting the isolation room.

"We wanted to minimize assumptions when verifying chemotherapy medications. We selected Telepharmacy, and our program is providing the assurances we want.”
