GO LIVE INFORMATION

• DECEMBER 1, 2019
• New Mexico Board of Pharmacy is currently re-
  writing Title 16, Chapter 19, Part 30 (Compounding
  of Non-Sterile Pharmaceuticals) and Part 36
  (Compounded Sterile Preparations) to include USP
   regulations
• What does this mean for hazardous compounding in
  New Mexico facilities?
  • We have approximately 14 months to bring our
    facilities into compliance with the new regulations
  • The New Mexico Board of Pharmacy will require
    compliance and will be inspecting for compliance
    as of December 1, 2019.
• Get it done early because you’ll have a lot of
  people to reach out to!

LIST OF HAZARDOUS DRUGS

• ENTITY MUST CREATE AND MAINTAIN A LIST OF HDs
  • A list of HDs is maintained by The National Institute for
    Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
    • Group 1: Antineoplastic Drugs which may pose a reproductive
       risk for susceptible populations
    • Group 2: Non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more of
       the NIOSH criteria for a hazardous drug and may also pose a
       reproductive risk for susceptible populations
    • Group 3: Drugs that pose a reproductive risk to both men and
       women who are actively trying to conceive and women who
       are breast feeding
  • NIOSH 2016 List plus a proposed addition list for 2018
  • Practice-specific assessment of HDs which is evaluated yearly or
    whenever a new agent is added to the formulary
  • Perform an assessment of risk of the drugs on your list to
    determine how to handle HDs

                                                                       Christina Kim    9

     ASSESSMENT OF RISK

• IT IS ADVISEABLE TO PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT OF RISK
  (AOR) OF ALL DRUGS ON YOUR HAZARDOUS DRUG LIST
  • Why? Provides for alternative containment strategies and
      work practices.
  • HDs on the NIOSH List that must follow containment
      requirements of USP  regardless of AOR include
                  • Any HD API
                  • Any antineoplastic requiring manipulation
   • Alternative containment strategies and work practices are
     allowed for drugs on the NIOSH list if an AOR is completed
                  • Final dosage forms of compounded HD preparations
                  • Conventionally manufactured HD products that do
                    not require any further manipulation

                                                                       Christina Kim   10

          ASSESSMENT OF RISK

      • TOPICS TO INCLUDE IN THE AOR:
        1. Type of HD
        2. Dosage form (Every form of every drug on the NIOSH list)
        3. Risk of exposure
        4. Packaging
        5. Manipulation
        6. Administration (PPE)

      •    EXAMPLES
          1. Final dosage form of compounded antineoplastics (An
             AOR may reveal the need for less restrictive storage
             requirements)
          2. Finasteride (crushing tablets on the floor) (An AOR may
             reveal the need for more restrictive requirements.)

                                                                                                                                                                       Christina Kim                   11

Step 1: Create an Algorithm

• Present it to your group and discuss                                   NIOSH Table 2 or is carcinogenic, genotoxic, or organ toxic
                                                                                      (per criteria in NIOSH guidelines)
  •   Pick what factors are important and come
      up with a consistent set of rules
• You could try to evaluate each drug and                       Injectable                                Solution, Topical                                  Tablet, Capsule

  each form one-by-one
  •   After you include all of the forms of each
      drug you are looking at a list 300 lines     Requires drawing from ampule or vial?       Requires manipulation such as mixing?
                                                                                                                                                     Requires manipulation sucRequires
                                                                                                                                                manipulation such as crushing or splitting
                                                                                                                                                       tablets or opening capsules?
      long!
  •   That’s too much for a group discussion
  •   Dividing and conquering list-by-list can                                                                            Yes:                                               Yes:

Step 2: Load Your Algorithm Rules into Excel

    • The NIOSH list is not Excel friendly but you can do it!
    • Make a bunch of If-Then Statements in Excel based on the
      algorithm your group decided on and just drag it through your
      NIOSH Excel
    • You will end up with a big, overwhelming Excel sheet that
      only the safety nerds will appreciate
    • It will only take one, hour-long meeting for the algorithm
    • From there give one person about two extra hours to set up
      the Excel and you’re done!
    • If you want to change the algorithm later, just update the
      Excel rules!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Christina Kim   13

       • Do not crush or open any forms of drugs on this list on a nursing unit or anywhere outside of a pharmacy Hazardous hood.
       • When administration of a drug requires that pharmacy manipulate any nonsterile HD on this list such as splitting tablets, crushing tablets or opening capsules to create a
       slurry, administering personnel must wear two pairs of gloves and a gown.
       • The information in this list can be found on the MAR and Pyxis stations.
       • Most NIOSH Group 1 drugs are cytotoxic chemotherapy. Cytotoxic drugs will be stickered with a yellow warning sticker that states, "CYTOTOXIC MATERIAL HANDLE PROPERLY."
       • NIOSH Group 2 drugs are non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more of the NIOSH criteria for an HD, some of these HDs may pose a reproductive risk for susceptible
       populations.
       • NIOSH Group 3 drugs primarily pose a reproductive risk to men and women who are actively trying to conceive and women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
       • Solid form drugs generally pose less risk of exposure than injectable and non-solid form drugs and thus are handled differently.

REQUIREMENTS FOR RECEIVING HDs

  PROCEDURE REQUIRED FOR RECEIVING HDS
    1. Visually examine the shipping container for signs of
       damage or breakage and follow entity’s developed
       procedure for handling damaged or broken containers
    2. The supplier should package HDs in impervious plastic to
       segregate them from other drugs. Leave the HDs in the
       plastic and deliver to the HD storage area for further
       unpacking
    3. PPE, including chemotherapy gloves, must be worn when
       unpacking (This is where the AOR comes in to play)
    4. Remove HDs from their external shipping containers in an
       area that is neutral or negative pressure relative to the
       surrounding areas.
    5. Do not unpack in the sterile compounding area or in any
       positive pressure area
    6. A spill kit must be accessible in the receiving area

                                                                   Christina Kim   17

REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING HDs

  PROCEDURE REQUIRED FOR STORING HDs
    1. Do not store on the floor. Store on secure shelves
       with raised front lips to prevent falling and breaking
    2. Antineoplastic HDs and HD API requiring physical
       manipulation must be stored in an externally
       vented, negative pressure room with at least 12 air
       changes per hour (ACPH). Example: Hazardous
       Ante or Clean room
    3. Non-antineoplastic, reproductive risk only, and final
       dosage forms of antineoplastic HDs may be stored
       with other inventory if permitted by entity policy.
       Examples: methotrexate, finasteride and warfarin
       tabs

                                                                       Christina Kim   19

REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING HDs

  PROCEDURE REQUIRED FOR STORING HDs
  4. Refrigerated antineoplastic HDs must be stored in a dedicated
     refrigerator in a negative pressure area with at least 12
     ACPH. Examples: storage room, buffer (clean) room or
     containment segregated compounding area (C-SCA). Note: It
     is recommended to place the refrigerator in front of an
     exhaust vent if the refrigerator is located in a negative
     pressure buffer (clean) room
  5. The most simple approach to take (if your procedures allows)
     is to store sterile HDs that require manipulation in a properly
     designed storage room, hazardous ante or clean room or the
     C-SCA. Store non-sterile HDs such as tablets or suspensions
     with other inventory

                                                                       Christina Kim   20

COMPOUNDING

  PRACTICAL APPROACH TO
  COMPOUNDING
  • Training
  • Personal Protective Equipment
  • Facilities and Engineering Controls
  • Containment Supplemental Engineering
    Controls
  • Non-sterile compounding

                                           Christina Kim   22

                                                                11

Definitions

        Engineering Controls: NIOSH/OSHA term that describes a barrier
        between the worker and HD
        • Primary Engineering Control:
           • Containment Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC):
              Haz-hood
        • Secondary Engineering Control:
           • Containment Secondary Engineering Control (C-SEC):
              Haz-room
           • Containment segregated compounding area (C-SCA):
              Basically a less sterile C-SEC
        • Unclassified area: Everywhere else in the world
        • Supplemental Engineering Control: Closed-System Drug-
           Transfer Device (CSTD)
           • Equashield, Phaseal, etc

                                                                              Christina Kim   23

TRAINING
STERILE HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDING
1. TRAINING IN NON-HAZARDOUS STERILE COMPOUNDING IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO
   BEGINNING HAZARDOUS STERILE COMPOUNDING TRAINING
2. Once non-hazardous compounding training is complete and employee demonstrates
   competency then hazardous compounding training can begin
3. The following are required areas of training for any type of hazardous compounding:
    •    Overview of entity’s list of HDs and risks
    •    Review of the entity’s policies and procedures for handling HDs
    •    Proper Use of Personal Protective Equipment
    •    Proper Use of equipment and devices
    •    Response to known or suspected HD exposure

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

1. GLOVES [American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D6978]
  •   Two pairs of gloves are required. The outside gloves must be sterile
  •   Change gloves every 30 minutes or when torn, punctured or contaminated
  •   Wash hands with soap and water after removing gloves

2. GOWNS [Polyethylene-coated polypropylene or other laminate materials]
 • Disposable
 • Long sleeved
 • Close in the back (tie in the back)
 • Closed cuffs that are elastic or knit
 • Change every 2-3 hours or per the manufacturer’s information. Change immediately
   after a spill or splash
 • Do not wear the gown outside of the hazardous medication preparation area

                                                                                             Christina Kim   25

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

3. HEAD, HAIR, SHOE, AND SLEEVE COVERS
 • Cover head and hair. Cover beard and moustache with a beard cover
 • When entering the hazardous compounding area a second set of shoe covers
   must be donned before entering and doffed when exiting the compounding area
 • Disposable sleeve covers may be used (polyethylene-coated polypropylene or
   other laminate materials offer better protection

4. EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
 • Eye protection is typically not used when compounding inside an appropriate biological safety cabinet
 • However, goggles must be worn when eye protection is needed
 • Face shields in combination with goggles provide full protection against splashes to the eyes and face

                                                                                             Christina Kim   26

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
5. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
 • Interestingly enough – USP  doesn’t give a recommendation for respiratory protection if
   working with a face shield in an appropriate biological safety cabinet
   • USP  does state that “surgical masks do not provide respiratory protection from drug exposure and must
     not be used when respiratory protection from HD exposure is required”
   • Remember a mask ensures sterility of the product but even an N-95 doesn’t do much to protect the worker

6. DISPOSAL OF PPE USED DURING COMPOUNDING
 • Place in an appropriate waste container inside the containment secondary engineering control area (C-
   SEC) also known as the hazardous clean room and dispose of per local, state, and federal regulations
 • Remove chemotherapy gloves and sleeve covers used during compounding and discard immediately
   into an appropriate waste container inside the contained primary engineering control unit (C-PEC). You
   may also place gloves and sleeves into a sealable bag and discard into an appropriate waste
   container outside of the C-PEC such as an appropriate container located in the C-SEC. This second
   option is a little more practical due to space inside the C-PEC
 • Need to don PPE upon entering and doff PPE BEFORE leaving the haz room
   • Can’t run things out of the Haz room and re-enter anymore

                                                                                                    Christina Kim       27

• Note that 797 update will require that you put disposable gloves on
  your hands, then put your gloved hands into the gloves then put
  gloves on top of the gloves
• 3 pair of gloves!
• You still need to put it into a negative pressure room

NON-STERILE COMPOUNDING
• Must also follow standards set in Pharmaceutical Compounding-Nonsterile Preparations 
• Handling of final dosage forms in a C-PEC is not required unless you are manipulating in such a way that produces
  particles, aerosols or gasses
• If you are manipulating a non-sterile HD then the following table is helpful to determine where to compound:

• A C-PEC designated for sterile compounding may be used to occasionally compound non-sterile HD. However, the C-
  PEC must be decontaminated, cleaned and disinfected before resuming sterile compounding

                                                                                                         Christina Kim   35

Other Recommendations

      Engineering Controls: Preferred ISO Class 7 buffer room with
      ISO Class 7 ante room
      • Not recommended to enter the haz room through the non-haz
         room (ante-room preferred)
         • But if you do, a method of transportation of HDs is
            required. It’s basically required to have a pass-through
      • Wipe sampling twice per year
         • Talk with your CSTD rep ;)

Help the Nurses!

 • No NIOSH medication should be crushed on the units?
   • What about paediatric patient education (methotrexate)?
   • It’s a SHOULD NOT in USP 800, use a plastic pouch and PPE if
     absolutely necessary
   • Now you have a Do-Not Crush list and the NIOSH list
     • Time to put this info onto the MAR and Pyxis
 • Use CSTDs for administration when possible (It’s mandatory)
 • Have Chemo-experienced nurses float to administer chemo
 • PPE: all of our gloves at UNMH are “Chemo gloves”
   • 2 pair for anti-neoplastic HDs
   • 2 versus 1 for the rest depends on your assessment of risk
   • Eye, face, and respiration protection is optional
   • Refer to Oncology Nursing Society guidelines ONS for more
     details on PPE

Spills!

 In addition to PPE requirements described, its up to you to work
 with work with EVS and Safety on this one!
 • Develop SOPs and train your staff
 At UNMH
 • Our Spill SOP is built into our USP 800 guideline
 • Double-bag contaminated linen blue then yellow on the outside
 • Spills less than 5ml
    • No spill kit necessary
 • Spills greater than 5ml
    • Use a spill kit

Accidental Exposure!

 • Does every person exposed to chemo need a trip to the ED?
   • Consider running this by the ED before putting it in writing!
   • Be careful who you mandate goes to the ED
      • Our ED does not feel every drop of chemo requires an
        emergency visit
 • Eye exposure, ingestion, symptomatic skin and symptomatic
   inhalation require immediate treatment
   • Send patients, visitors and workers to Oc Health or ED
   • Injections, rectal, nasal exposure, need immediate help as
      well
 • Work with your Occupational Health team
