    Good morning

    Just wondering if anyone had any protocol or guide, recommendations on Infection control commissioning & ongoing QI monitoring requirements of pathogens for a sterile pharmacy cabinet we are purchasing for our pharmacy for cancer pts (chemo drugs etc)

    Appreciate any advice or if anyone has protocol to share.

    Many thanks

    Kind regards

    Lindy

    Hi Lindy,

    We previously had a cytoguard room for making up chemo. This room underwent regular micro testing in line with recommendations from the ISOPP Standards of Practice: Safe handling of Cytotoxics, Journal of Oncol Pharm Practice (2007) Supplement to 13:1-81.

    In particular refer to section 6- Facilities for sterile cytotoxic reconstitution and personal protective equipment.

    Kind regards,
