Time is running out, but you can rely on Esco for a one-stop shop for equipment to comply to USP 800.
USP 800 is officially enforced by local, state, and federal regulatory agencies that require compounding pharmacies to comply, or otherwise face a hefty fine or even closure. Hazardous drugs must be compounded in a proper containment primary engineering control (C-PEC) such as biosafety cabinet (BSC) or compounding aseptic containment isolator (CACI) that is externally vented and located in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom.

Modular Cleanrooms knows cleanrooms can be constructed out of many varying materials from sheet rock to flexible vinyl, but no matter what material it is, the HEPA filter is the heart of every Cleanroom. That is why Modular Cleanrooms is a Master Distributor of Envirco Corp. and has the largest inventory in the central US of Mac 10 Fan Powered HEPA Filters. Along with the Mac 10 filters we stock several styles and sizes of cleanroom light fixtures (T8 with electronic ballasts) in standard Troffer and Flo-Thru styles, Suspended “T” Bar ceiling grid and ceiling tiles. We also stock replacement motors, pre-filters and HEPA filters (standard and RSR) for the Mac 10 series of Fan Filter Units (FFUs). Modular Cleanrooms is also able to purchase replacement HEPA filters directly from the manufacturers for most popular brands of FFUs.
The Econo-Tent softwall cleanroom is the most economical approach and design for your cleanroom needs. This design is commonly used in the microelectronics and medical mold injection industry as well as many others. Econo-Tent's softwall design allows it to be used as either a totally freestanding room or it can be used in combination with your existing walls and ceiling. Each room comes completely factory prefabricated for minimal on-site erection time and is totally self-contained with all components factory-finished.
Modular Hardwall Cleanrooms are prefabricated, factory engineered and designed to meet a full range of cleanroom requirements found in industries ranging from Micro-Electronics, Aerospace, Medical equipment and packaging. Modular Hardwall Cleanrooms are also an excellent product for the Compounding Pharmacy market. They meet and exceed all of the requirements found in USP 797.
The Aluminum Bio-Clean design emphasizes particle infiltration as well microbial contamination protection. The Aluminum Bio-Clean can be designed and certified to as clean as Class 10 (ISO 4) up to Class 100,000 (ISO 8) as well as Class 10,000 for USP 797. Each Aluminum Bio-Clean cleanroom can also be outfitted with Class 100 (ISO 5) work zones eliminating the need for (ISO 5) Clean Benches/Hoods.
The Micro-Clean cleanroom is specifically designed to meet requirements of the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Micro-Clean's design allows it to be used as either a totally freestanding room or it can be used in combination with your existing walls and ceiling. The Micro-Clean comes completely factory prefabricated for minimal on-site erection time and is totally self-contained with all components factory finished.

For over 40 years, NuAire has consistently led the pharmacy compounding industry in safety standards and customer satisfac¬tion. We obsess over our customers’ needs and tailor unique solutions to meet those needs. With invaluable input from customers like you, we now offer a wide range of laminar airflow workstations (LAFWs), containment ventilated enclosures (CVEs), biological safety cabinets (BSCs), ultralow temperature (ULT) freez¬ers, Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS), and much more. With our cutting-edge robotic sheet metal facility, we can deliver you custom, innovative pharmacy compounding solutions in addition to the standard products that we sell.
The LabGard Class II Type A2 & Type B2 Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs) effectively operate as Containment-Primary Engineering Controls (C-PECs) for sterile hazardous pharmacy drug compounding. C-PECs provide USP 800 compliant product, personnel, and environmental protection that can be externally exhausted after passing through HEPA filtration.
The PharmaGard Restricted Access Barrier System (RABS) series offers a physical barrier between personnel and product. The positive pressure Compounding Aseptic Isolator (CAI) protects the non-hazardous compounded sterile preparation inside, while our negative pressure Compounding Aseptic Containment Isolators (CACIs) offer containment for hazardous sterile preparations and a choice of a model that recirculates most air to the work zone or another that is total exhaust. NuAire offers accessories so that either of these CACI models can be connected to external exhaust in compliance with USP 800.
The AireGard Laminar Airflow Workstation (LAFW) series operates as a Primary Engineering Control (PEC) that complies with USP 797 by providing product protection by flushing the work surface with vertical or horizontal ISO class 5 air.
The LabGard NU-813 Containment Ventilated Enclosure (CVE) or Class I BSC also effectively operates as a C-PEC that complies with USP 800 for non-sterile hazardous drug compounding. The NU-813 offers personnel and environmental protection by creating a constant 80 fpm (0.41 m/s) air inflow that is exhausted through HEPA filters.
The Blizzard -86°C Ultralow Temperature (ULT) Freezer series provides consistent storage temperatures of -40°C to -86°C, ideal for vaccine storage, and are equipped with energy efficient compressor motors. All NuAire freezer models utilize environmentally friendly hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants and vacuum insulated polyurethane (VIP) chamber walls. Available capacities range from 3.5 to 14.8 ft3 (100 to 828 L).
NuAire pharmacy compounding workstations can be fitted with an optional IV bar with 6+ SST hooks, mechanical auto-rising base stands, ergonomic arm attachments for computer monitor + keyboard/mouse, and glass sidewalls for added visibility.

About Barrier Isolators (for Hospital Pharmacies and Hospital Labs)
From Wikipedia 2010
A barrier isolator, or simply an isolator, is a device that provides a physical barrier between a pharmacist or technician and a work process. Isolators are routinely found in the pharmaceutical industry within hospitals, and with the recent implementation of USP 797 ("Pharmaceutical Compounding: Sterile Preparations", a set of sterile compounding standards issued by the United States Pharmacopeia), are increasingly used in pharmacy applications. They are designed to provide an isolation of a process or the maintenance of an internal condition (e.g., sterile or aseptic). Isolators may operate at positive, negative, or ambient differential pressure. Isolators may provide personnel, product, or environmental protection, or any combination thereof. They are used throughout industry, from orange juice filling lines to cytotoxic drug compounding to electronics manufacturing.
Regarding pharmacy applications within hospitals, because people are the greatest source of contamination during aseptic manufacturing of drugs, reducing personnel interventions into the process zone has significant impact on the efficacy of the final drug product. In the mid 1980's, the industry began to employ barrier isolators, and later, in the 1990s, Restricted Access Barrier Systems, or RABS, to separate people from the process. The acronym RABS was coined by Stewart Davenport of Upjohn (now Pfizer). Since that time, the technology and applications of these systems has developed and broadened significantly.
