USP Chapter 797 has established a new national standard for sterile preparations, including compounding, transportation and storage; and requires that compounding personnel be adequately educated, instructed, and skilled to perform their functions.
The goal of USP Chapter 797 is to protect patients from harm associated with contaminated or improperly prepared compounded sterile preparations.
At Buderer Drug Co., we utilize an independent laboratory and QI Medical in-house testing to test our compounded sterile preparations for endotoxins, potency, and sterility.
