The objective of USP <797> is to describe conditions and practices to prevent harm, including death, to patients that could result from:
- Microbial contamination
- Excessive bacterial endotoxins
- Variability in the intended strength of ingredients
- Chemical and physical contaminants
- Incorrect type or quality of ingredients in Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSPs)
USP <797> provides practice and quality standards for all persons who prepare CSP drugs and nutrients and all places they are prepared.
USP <797> requires that the preparation of CSPs occur in ISO Class 5 (Class 100) environments, buffer areas of ISO Class 7 (Class 10,000), and ante-areas of ISO Class 8 (Class 100,000). Achieving and maintaining cleanroom environments requires new procedures and protocols.
