🔬 Pharmaceutical Compounding Contamination: Main Causes and Prevention In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the sterility and purity of compounded products is of paramount importance. Contamination during compounding can have severe consequences, compromising patient safety and product efficacy. ⛔️ Main causes of contamination: 1️⃣ Inadequate Cleaning Procedures Insufficient cleaning of equipment and facilities can leave residues that contaminate subsequent batches. 2️⃣ Facility Design Poor separation of production areas can lead to cross-contamination between different products. 3️⃣ Human Error Improper handling and movement of materials by personnel can introduce contaminants. 4️⃣ Airborne Contaminants Inadequate air filtration and ventilation systems can allow contaminants to spread through the air. 5️⃣ Shared Equipment Using the same equipment for different products without proper cleaning can result in the transfer of contaminants. ✅ How to minimize these risks? We emphasise the importance of rigorous cleaning protocols, meticulous facility design, comprehensive personnel training, robust air handling systems, and... 💡...the use of compounding aseptic isolators specifically designed to match plant and production requirements, as well as the type of substance being processed. By addressing these factors, we can minimise the risk of cross-contamination and ensure the production of safe, high-quality pharmaceuticals.
